First Line: I met a little cottage-girl
Last Line: Must sure in heaven dwell.
Subject(s): Lloyd George, David (1863-1945); Poetry & Poets; Wordsworth, William (1770-1850)
I met a little cottage-girl;
She strutted by my side.
'Now tell me, little maid,' asked I,
'Whence comes such sinful pride?'
'Why, Lloyd George knew my father, sir,'
This innocent child replied.
'And father knew Lloyd George,' said she,
'And mother did as well.'
Her childish laughter in my ears
Rang like a silver bell.
He whom a wise child honours thus
Must sure in heaven dwell.
