Poem on the birth of Anna Gertrude Hewitt
(© 07 January 2002 - Dirk Schmitt)

In darkened stead
No sound is made
All wait in time
For bairn to come

Pains first pangs
Announce the coming
Time it is
For kinfolk to gather

Time passes still
Cries become
More insistant
The bairn moves

Mother and child
Bound in lifes dance
Pain gives life
Life gives pain

In last cry
Is life brought forth
Kinfolk joy
Bairn whole and hale

And is heralded
New life in Vinland
Tru folk heil
Mother and bairn

Tru folk heil
Father and bairn
Tru folk heil
Kin and bairn
