Amélie
(At 10 Weeks)
How beautiful your tiny features are,
Fine-boned and delicate as porcelain;
As soft as silken threads your downy hair,
A coronet of shining filigrane;
How like an angel’s, in its innocence
And pure serenity, your charming face!.
You do not know what life’s experience
With bring to you of sadness or of grace;
For now it is enough that you should be
Cradled in loving tenderness, your wants
Supplied by a devoted family
Who shelter you from fate’s malign mischance.
How fortunate young Amélie that, come what may
Throughout your life, you will be cherished night and day!.
