THE SCHOOLMISTRESS by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: IF SHE, THEIR NURSE, BE FAINT WITH FAMINE
Last Line: BID BIRDS AND ANGELS BRING HER BREAD.
Subject(s): BABIES; ORPHANS; INFANTS; FOUNDLINGS;

IF she, their nurse, be faint with famine,
How shall the foster babes be fed?
Lead her, O God, where Cherith floweth,
Bid birds and angels bring her bread.
