So for the mother's sake the child was dear,
And dearer was the mother for the child.


'Sonnet to a Friend Who Asked How I Felt When the Nurse First Presented My Infant to Me' (1797)


So for the mother's sake the child was dear, And dearer was the mother for the child.

So for the mother's sake the child was dear, And dearer was the mother for the child.

So for the mother's sake the child was dear, And dearer was the mother for the child.

So for the mother's sake the child was dear, And dearer was the mother for the child.
