Infant Sorrow

Emily Loizeau

Compositor: William Blake, Emily Loizeau

My mother groan'd! My father wept
Into the dangerous world I leapt
Helpless, naked, piping loud
Like a fiend hid in a cloud

Struggling in my father's hands
Striving against my swaddling bands
Bound and weary I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast

Ouh
Infant sorrow
Ouh
Infant sorrow
