Analysis of First Day.
The baby was finally born.
Natural and perfectly adorned.
Its head of silk and body of down.
It shon the light at all around.
Its delicate touch was sleepy with care.
Gloves of white, an enveloped pare.
Feet so still but equally fare.
A China doll, a baby to share,
As if a foal of white and rare.
A wave of bliss, and joy profund',
A taste of happiness to astound.
