BLESS this little heart, this white soul that has won the kiss of heaven for our earth.  
He loves the light of the sun, he loves the sight of his mother's face.
 
He has not learned to despise the dust, and to hanker after gold.
 
Clasp him to your heart and bless him.
 
He has come into this land of an hundred cross-roads.
 
I know not how he chose you from the crowd, came to your door, and grasped your hand to ask his way.
