First Line: Glad heart, clear brain, clean hands
Last Line: That's happiness enough for you and me.
Subject(s): Children; March (month); Mothers; Childhood
GLAD heart, clear brain, clean hands—
All these are better far than castle lands;
Good ears to hear, good eyes to see,
Are riches quite enough for you and me.
A place to sit, a book, a light,
Are riches great enough a winter's night,
And Mother setting things for tea—
That's happiness enough for you and me.
