. AND THANKS TO MRS. HALL Children of pure unclouded brow And dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet, and we and thou Are half a life asunder, Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy-tale. A Without, the frost, the blinding snow, The storm-wind's moody madness Within, the l'irelight's ruddy glow The childhood's nest of gladness-. Thy magic words shall hold us fast: We shall not fear the raving blast. And though the shadow of a sigh May tremble through this story, For happy childhood days gone by, I And vanished summer glory- It shall not touch with breath of bale The pleasure of our fairy-tale. i E SMH: ,S ap W HQ i
