Cod holm the boy that never sees

Nor hears the music of the breeze
When 7ephyFs soft are blowing
Who cannot In sweet comfort lie a.
Where clover blossoms are thick ana hns
And hear the gentle murmur hsh
OF brookets softly flowing
God helm the boy who does not know
Where all the woodland berries grow,
Who never the forests glow
when leaves are red and yellow.
Whose childish feet can never stray
Where Nature does her charms display
For such helpless boy. | say,
God help the little fellow. -.
