A NEW BABY

Isaac Taylor Headland translation

A GILT-WOOD mace,

And silvered things,

My grandfather plays,

And grandmother sings;

My grandmother sings till broad daylight,

And a baby comes to our home at night;

They place the child by the pot on the ground,

And it eats rice soup with a sucking sound.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
