CHILD-FANCIES
And, grateful for all good, with thee incline
To love the best the flower they have not seen!
II
GATHERED WILD-FLOWERS
I've brought you some flowers, mother!
Please look at them, mother, look!
See this one!—and here's another
I found beside the brook!
They're very warm, for I held them tight;
You'll want them, I know, to keep,
When they wake again and you see them right,—
But now they're all asleep.
