Answer:
This child’s first prayer upon entering the world is one that calls for protection. The newborn asks for protection from the evils in the spiritual realm. The “club-footed ghoul” is clearly mystical, if evil, being, whereas the “rat” and the “bat” could represent diseases brought by those two creatures, which are often associated with disease. In the opening stanza, the newborn asks God to protect him from evil spirits and from disease.
