THE GIFT by LOUIS V. LEDOUX

First Line: LET OTHERS GIVE YOU WEALTH AND LOVE
Last Line: WHILE CHILDREN CLIMB YOUR KNEE.
Let others give you wealth and love,
And guard you while you live;
I cannot set my gift above
The gifts that others give.

And yet the gift I give is good:
In one man's eyes to see
The worship of your maidenhood
While children climb your knee.
