How blissfully they sped,
When not a charm had vanished,
And not a wonder dedi
The year was full OF promise then.
The tongue was full of praise
But / think the cup is sweeter now
Than in the childish days.
Oh, the laughing world of childhood,
OF ignorance and ease!
The highest touch could quicken,
And the least pleasure please;
Yet the upward paths are dsarer,
With all the thorns they bear,
Than a garden Of hundred flowers
When Ignorance sthsrei

That little heart OF show,
That doubt has never entered,
Nor sorrow has brought low

Can shadow forth tbs perfect low
