THE CHILD HEART, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The shy flowers smile in the face of their father the bountiful bright one
Last Line: And serve them ever with gladness, and learn to be pure and good.
Subject(s): Good; Love; Nature - Religious Aspects


THE shy flowers smile in the face of their father the bountiful Bright One,
The wild birds chant his praise when he smiles with the blessing of day;
The child-folk follow the wood-things into the wild with laughter,
And you and I, beloved, shall follow them all away
Into the fields of faery, unto the haunted wood,
And serve them ever with gladness, and learn to be pure and good.
