“I lay my tasks down one by one; I sit in the silence of twilight grace. Out of the shadows, deep and dun, Steals, like a star, my Baby's face. .... I will take up my work once more, As if I had never laid it down. Who will dream that I ever wore, In triumph, motherhood's sacred crown? .... Nevertheless, the way is long, And tears leap up in the light of the sun. I'd give my world for a cradle-song, And a kiss from Baby?only one.” IfsWorldWayGivingLongDreamLightFacesSongStarsSilenceSunGraceTearsBabyKissingShadowTasksSacredLaysMotherhoodStealingTriumphLeapPregnancyTwilightCrownsNeverthelessCradleMy Baby Author:Mary C.
