When the lessons and tasks are al

And the school for the day is dismiss
And the little ones gather round me
To bid me good night" and be kiss
ed;
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in a tender embrace
Oh. the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine and love on my
facel
And when they are gone | sit dreaming
Of my childhood, too lovely to last
Of love that my heart will remember,
When 1t wakes to the pulse of the
past,
Ere the world add its wickedness made
A partner of sorrow and sin,
Wnen the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
Oh, my heart grows weak as a woman's,
And fountains of feeling will flow,
When think of the paths steep and
stony
Where the feet of the dear ones
must go;
Of the mountains of sin hanging o'er
them,
Of the tempest of fate blowing wild I;
Oh, there's nothing on earth half SO
holy
As the innocent heart of a child
They are idols of hearts and of house
holds,
They are angels of God in disguise,
HIS sunlight still sleeps In their tresses,
His glory still beams in their eyes;
Oh, those truants from earth and from
heaven,
They have made me more manly and
mild.
And now know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.
