English poem

The Child's faith is new --

by

Listen in the reader

The Child's faith is new -- Whole -- like His Principle -- Wide -- like the Sunrise On fresh Eyes -- Never had a Doubt -- Laughs -- at a Scruple -- Believes all sham But Paradise --

Credits the World -- Deems His Dominion Broadest of Sovereignties -- And Caesar -- mean -- In the Comparison -- Baseless Emperor -- Ruler of Nought -- Yet swaying all --

Grown bye and bye To hold mistaken His pretty estimates Of Prickly Things He gains the skill Sorrowful -- as certain -- Men -- to anticipate Instead of Kings --
