Last Line: TO HELP ME NOW MY TOY TO FIND?
Subject(s): PRAYER;
I

Make me, dear Lord, polite and kind
To every one, I pray;
And may I ask you how you find
@3Yourself@1, dear Lord, to-day?

Lord, I have lost a toy
With which I love to play;
And as you were youself a boy
Of just my age to-day,
O Son of Mary, would you mind
To help me now my toy to find?
