Before a child you must be snow,
Before a child you must not know
A thought, word, deed unclean,
But Ike the pure grass. fresh and
green
When spring has washed it with its
rain
And May winds blow from every lane
The dust and LEAKAGE of the night,
Before child you must be light.
Before you a child must be pure
And like the mountain to endure
The, searching keeness OF her mind
Lest! insincerity she find
And that unearnest pretense that
She ferTets out before you pat
Her little head-and, oh, her eyes
II ever you should tell her lies!
before child you must put off
The hypocrite, and straightway dof
The old receptions of the race
She reads you by your smiling face,
And bear in mind you wear no guile
Around the borders of that smile,
For IL you do you can not hope
Her tender confidence to ope.
Before a child you must be sweet
With that which helps his timid feet
To come toward you and not to
shrink
She sees clean through you, what you
think
AS we'll az what you know and feel,
Before child you must be real,
And if you are, you're heir thereafter
To all her witchery and her laughter.
