a Ch;1d's Thought

A little child upon the sands,
Beneath sapphire sky,
Holding up her dimpled hands
While on the quiet beach she stands
AS though she fain would try
To clasp the feecy clouds that pass
So high above the wondering lass.
II am SO small maid" said she;
1.-THE sky and clouds are far
And farther still the stars must be,
So far their light cannot see
wonder where they are!
All are so far above my reach,
I'll Just play here upon the beach"
