Katharine Tynan Hinkson (1861–1931)

ALL heaven in my arm.

The child for a charm

’Gainst fear and ’gainst sorrow,

To-day and to-morrow.

The child for a charm

Betwixt me and harm.

O mouth, full of kisses!

Small body of blisses!

Your hand on my neck

And your cheek to my cheek.

What shall hurt me or harm

With all Heaven in my arm?
