On an Infant which died before Baptism by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Lyrics
'Be, rather than be called, a child of God,'
Death whispered! With assenting nod,
Its head upon its mother's breast,
 The Baby bowed, without demur—
Of the kingdom of the Blest
 Possessor, not Inheritor.
Death whispered! With assenting nod,
Its head upon its mother's breast,

Of the kingdom of the Blest
 Possessor, not Inheritor.
