First Line: Their little language the children
Last Line: Which is hidden with love and thee.
Subject(s): Language; Love - Nature Of; Words; Vocabulary


THEIR little language the children
Have, on the knee as they sit;
And only those who love them
Can find the key to it.

The words thereof and the grammar
Perplex the logician's art;
But the heart goes straight with the meaning
And the meaning is clear to the heart.

So thou, my Love, hast a language
That, in little, says all to me: --
But the world cannot guess the sweetness
Which is hidden with Love and thee.
