Richard Le Gallienne

Blue eyes, against the whiteness pressed Of little mother's hallowed breast, The while your trembling lips are fed, Look up at mother's bended head,

All benediction over you — blue eyes looking into blue! Fragoletta is so small, We wonder that she lives at all — Tiny alabaster girl,

Hardly bigger than a pearl; That is why we take such care, Lest someone runs away with her.
