THE WEEPING BABE
And here are red roses,
And grapes from the vine,
And a lamb trotting softly,
Thy playfellow fine.

Now smile, little Jesus,
Whom naught can defile;
All gifts will I give Thee
An thou wilt but smile.

But it 's lullaby, my Baby!
And mournful am I,
Thou cherished little Jesus,
That still Thou wilt cry.
