4.BABY'S WAY
|
|
IF baby only wanted to, he could fly up to heaven this moment.
|
It is not for nothing that he does not leave us.
|
He loves to rest his head on mother's bosom, and cannot ever bear to lose sight of her.
|
Baby knows all manner of wise words, though few on earth can understand their meaning.
|
It is not for nothing that he never wants to speak.
|
The one thing he wants is to learn mother's words from mother's lips. That is why he looks so innocent.
|
Baby had a heap of gold and pearls, yet he came like a beggar on to this earth.
|
It is not for nothing he came in such a disguise.
|
This dear little naked mendicant pretends to be utterly helpless, so that he may beg for mother's wealth of love.
|
Baby was so free from every tie in the land of the tiny crescent moon.
|
It was not for nothing he gave up his freedom.
|
He knows that there is room for endless joy in mother's little corner of a heart, and it is sweeter far than liberty to be caught and pressed in her dear arms.
|
Baby never knew how to cry. He dwelt in the land of perfect bliss.
|
It is not for nothing he has chosen to shed tears.
|
Though with the smile of his dear face he draws mother's yearning heart to him, yet his little cries over tiny troubles weave the double bond of pity and love.
