Litchfield enquirer. [volume] (Litchfield, Conn.) 1829-current, 1843-10-26
For the ENQUIRER,

Sleep on, sleep on thou happy child,
Care from thy heart is far away,
Heaven on thy innocence has smiled,
Since man from virtue went asIray.
Aye, sweetly sleep, and sweety dream,
For sunny chidhoods happy day
Doth to thy untaught vision seem
Too bright to ever pass away.
Thy life is like mountain rill
Through sunny glades that takes its way,
Meandering by dale and hill,
Dancing the joyous hours away
But nutumn's frost, and winters snow,
Shall take the stream to their embrace,
The murmuring ril shall cease to flow,
When Spring shall give to winter place.
So childhood's dreams shall charm no more,
When thou shalt leave thy youth behind,
And thy light heart be frozen DER
By chilly contact with mankind. Xxx.
