THE CHILD AND THE POETS.
Still Iinger in our noon of time.
And on our Saxon tongue
The echoes Of the home born hymns
The AIyzu mothers sung.
And childhood had it's litanies
In every age and cline;
The earliest cradles of the race
Were rocked to poets rhyme.
Nor sky, nor wave. nor tree, nor flower.
Nor green earth's virgin sod,
So moved the singers heart OF old
Al these email ones Of God.
The myetery of unfolding life
Was more than m0rniLgs dawn,
Than opening flower or crescent moons
The human soul Few born
And still to childhood's sweet appeal
The heart.of genius turns
And more than all the eaSes teach
From isping voices learne-
The voices loved Of him who Gang,
Where Tweed and Teviat glide,
That sound to-day on All the winds
That blow from Rydai-sde.
Heard in the Teuton's household songs
And folk lore # the Finn,
Where'er to holy Chris mas hearte
The Christ child enters IN!
Before life's sweetest mystery still
The heart in re. erence kneels;
The wonder of the primal birth
The latest mother feels
We need loves tender lessons taught
Az only We akne6s can;
God bath His small interpreters;
The child must teach the man.
We wander wide through evil years.
Our eyes of faith grow dim:
But he is fre shest from HE hands
And nearest unto hlml
And haply, Pleading long with him
For sin SICK hearts ana cold.
The angels of our childhood still
The Fathers face behold.
OF such the Kingdom! Teach thou us,
o Master M st divine.
To feel the deep significance
OF these wise words of thine!
The naughty feet of power shall fail
Where meekEess SUE ely goes;
No cunning find the key OF Heaven,
No strength its gates unclose.
Alone to guilelessness and love
Those gates shall open fall;
The mind of pride 10 nOthingness,
The child like heart is ALI
