LOVER of children! Fellow heir with those | |
| Of whom the imperishable kingdom is. | |
| Beyond all doubting now your spirit knows | |
| The unimagined mysteries. | |
| |
| Darkly as in a glass our faces look | 5 |
| To read ourselves, if so we may, aright; | |
| You, like the maiden in your fairy book, | |
| You step behind and see the light. | |
| |
| Farewell! But in our hearts we have you yet, | |
| Holding our heritage with loving hand, | 10 |
| Who may not follow where your feet are set | |
| Upon the ways of Wonderland. | | | |
|
