This is a wonderful prayer for a still unborn daughter with beautiful illustrations by Charles Vess. He first asked the fates to be kind,
"Keep her from spindles and sleeps at 16,
...
Grant her the wisdom to choose her path right,
Free from unkindness and fear
Free from unkindness and fear
...
Her joys must be high as her sorrows are deep,
Let her grow like a week in the sun."
Let her grow like a week in the sun."
What a great prayer to a child!
