Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 154
Baby lies so fast asleep That we cannot wake her : Will the Angels clad in whiteFly from heaven to take her ? Baby lies so fast asleep That no pain can grieve her ;Put a snowdrop in her hand, Kiss her once and leave her. 132 … I know a baby, such a baby,- Round blue eyes and cheeks of pink, Such an elbow furrowed with dimples,Such a wrist where creases sink. Cuddle and love me, cuddle and love me,1Crows the mouth of coral pink : Oh, the bald head, and, oh, the sweet lips,And, oh, the sleepy eyes that wink ! 133
