Title:     On An Infant Which Died Before Baptism
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

"Be, rather than be call'd, a child of God,"
Death whisper'd!--with assenting nod,
Its head upon its mother's breast,
The Baby bow'd, without demur--
Of the kingdom of the Blest
Possessor, not inheritor.

April 8th, 1799.
