Mother and Infant

Peace restored

Gentle arms erelong

Compass the belly

Eftsoons give way

To cradle the fruit

In a quiet place

Appetency the breast

Upon the cheek

Dost turn the head

And assay to eat

To a soothing coo

A smile dost overbrim

Whispered is the name

The womb once preserved

A breath of rhymes

Sanative and sweet

Will lullaby

To tender sleep

A crib the bedlam

Until awake

Supple moves

Try not to quake

Sped to the breast

While mother endures

And swinks to rest

As peace is restored

Mother and infant

Slumber once more
