The Child's faith is new --

The Child's faith is new --

Whole -- like His Principle --

Wide -- like the Sunrise

On fresh Eyes --

Never had a Doubt --

Laughs -- at a Scruple --

Believes all sham

But Paradise --

Credits the World --

Deems His Dominion

Broadest of Sovereignties --

And Caesar -- mean --

In the Comparison --

Baseless Emperor --

Ruler of Nought --

Yet swaying all --

Grown bye and bye

To hold mistaken

His pretty estimates

Of Prickly Things

He gains the skill

Sorrowful -- as certain --

Men -- to anticipate

Instead of Kings --
