Last Line: A blossom of the earth!
Alternate Author Name(s): Myers, Frederic
Subject(s): Children; Innocence
I saw, I saw the lovely child,
I watched her by the way,
I learnt her gestures sweet and wild,
Her loving eyes and gay.
Her name? ''" I heard not, nay, nor care.
Enough it was for me
To find her innocently fair
And delicately free.
Oh cease and go ere dreams be done,
Nor trace the angel's birth,
Nor find the paradisal one
A blossom of the earth!
