THREE BABY VERSES: 3 by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT

First Line: BY THE SUMMER ROADSIDE
Last Line: AS SIMPLY AND SWEETLY AS THEY?
Subject(s): CHILDREN; INNOCENCE; CHILDHOOD;
By the summer roadside
In bushes huddling,
Three children I saw,
Scared by the motor's rush,
With sweet faces peering
As we went by;
Confronting fears and danger,
With loveliness of mien.
What can the world dash at me
With dangers and power to kill,
That I should not confront
As simply and sweetly as they?
