read the details of the birth
The cry of the baby is music!  When it is still,
   especially in the night, one longs
for this primitive expression of the little being,
   and is consoled, enraptured when
the helpless creature breaks into loud wails, and says to us:
   'I live, give me what I need!'
   Oh, cry of the baby in the night,
   nightengale song for mother and father!

From Semming, A Father's Diary,
quoted in Milicent Washburn Shinn,
The Biography of a Baby, 1900
