Page:MU KPB 009 The Springtide of Life Poems of Childhood by Algernon Charles Swinburne.pdf/109

There was a problem when proofreading this page.
O singers that best loved children, and best for their
sakes are beloved of us here,
In the world of your life everlasting, where love has no
thorn and desire has no fear,
All else may be sweeter than aught is on earth, nought
dearer than these are dear.
