SONGS OF EXILE
(Yet in the end
He shall return:
As at his birth he was,
So shall he be.)
How urge ye him of ten years with intent
Toward instruction? Yet a little space,
And he will grow and find his chastisement.
Speak unto him with tender tone of grace:
Joy shall he rouse
For them that bare him, for his father's house.
(For in the end
He shall return:
As at his birth he was,
So shall he be.)
How sweet the days to him of twenty years!
