QUATRAIN: RECONCILIATION by FREDERIC FAIRCHILD SHERMAN

First Line: TWO CHILDREN WHO HAD QUARRELED, AND HAD WALKED
Last Line: AND EACH FORGAVE THE OTHER THEN, AND TALKED.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; RECONCILIATION; CHILDHOOD;

Two children who had quarreled, and had walked
Half home in silence, hearing how the birds
Sang to each other everywhere, found words,
And each forgave the other then, and talked.
