In praise OF little children l will sa,
God first made man then found bette
way
For woman. but his third way was tn,
best
OF all created things. the loveliest
And most divine are children. Nothing
here
Can be to us more gracious or more
dear.
And though, when God saw all Hi.
works were good.
There was no rosy flower Of babyhood,
Twas said of children in later day
That none could er Heaven save
such rs they.
The earth, which feels the Towering
Of q thorn.
Was glad, o little. child. when you
were born;
The earth. which thrills when skylarks
scale the blue.
Scared up itself to Code own Heaven
in you;
And Heaven, which loves to lean down
and to glass
Its beauty In each dewdrop on the
grass
HeaYen laughed to find your face so
pure and fair,
And left, o little child, ite reflex there.
