I'm glad you started this, Maryann. Since I read your 'Circadian Lament, Sung to a Wakeful Baby' -- which I won't include here, only because it seem to be a work in progress -- I'd been thinking about how few baby poems have actually stayed with me, as that one has. I hope my fellow Eratospherians can remedy that.
I do like Auden's 'Munds et Infans,' but it's not the sort of thing you can rattle off (no pun intended) -- well, at least I can't.
Thanks for the poem by A.E. Stallings.
Best,
Ed
