Childhood's DAVIS.

l do not sigh for childhood's days,
AS singers often do;
1 do not miss those guileless sports
Which left me black and blue;
l should not care to climb tree
And eat unwholesome fruit,
Nor struggle with examples which
Fen now 1 can't compute.
I'm glad that l no longer fear
A room that's still and dark:
I'm glad that / can sit up late -
Without unkind remark.
l oft suspect, when all these words
On "childhood's days" I view.
That grown-up folk enjoy them more
Than real children do.
