Mother and baby, 1883

 

Cuddle up closer in your fair white gown,

Mother’ll hold you, darling, while the rain comes down.

   Artist Ida Waugh captures the sweet scene of a mother cuddling a sleeping baby so perfectly here. The baby feels safe, the mother might be almost certainly is exhausted but still enjoys this quiet moment while her baby snuggles close. 

   A beautiful image from Holly Berries, published in 1883, accompanying the poem, A Rainy Day Song.
