Tonight your little cheek is wet
With glistening baby tears,
And baby heartbreaks hurt as much
As ours in later years...
But,oh! My sweet, tomorrow
When you waken with the dawn,
You'll find that sorrow's sped away
And baby woes are gone!
Yet I who watch above you
In that alchemy of sleep,
Know a deeper bit of heartache,
For...'twas I who made you weep!

A finer or more tender poem of atonement, I have not read!
