THE FLOWERING OF THE CHILD-HEART

Gloria Virginia Ranck

When fervently you long to see each childGrow beautiful, intelligent, and strong—To flower into manhood, undefiledBy sophistry, unbruised by stubborn wrong—Oh, let no willful effort pry apartThe infant bud that bides the touch of Love:But turn obediently with listening heartTo hear Mind's pure instruction.
