Page:MU KPB 009 The Springtide of Life Poems of Childhood by Algernon Charles Swinburne.pdf/139

As the moon on the lake’s face flashes,
 So haply may gleam at whiles
A dream through the dear deep lashes
 Whereunder a child’s eye smiles,

And the least of us all that love him
 May take for a moment part
With angels around and above him,
 And I find place in his heart.
