Infant Joy

“I have no name:

I am but two days old.”

What shall I call thee?

“I happy am,

Joy is my name.”

Sweet joy befall thee! (You happen)

Pretty joy!

Sweet joy but two days old,

Sweet joy I call thee: (you)

Thou dost smile, (you smile)

I sing the while,

Sweet joy befall thee! (you happened)
