How many pounds does baby weigh?
"Baby" who came a while ago;
How many pounds from crowning curl
To rosy point of the restless toe?
Nobody weighed the baby's smile,
Or the love that came with the helpless one.
Nobody weighed the threads of care
From which a human life is spun.
Nobody weighed the baby's soul,
For here on earth no weights there be
That could avail;
God only knows its value through eternity.
Oh Mother, sing your merry note!
Oh Father, laugh, but don't forget
From baby's eyes looks out a soul
To be in Eden's light reset!
