"A Kiss for a Blow"

A. A. W.

What makes little children quite happy and good,
And banishes tempers both naughty and rude?
It is the sweet maxim, we very well know,
Of giving each other "A Kiss for a Blow."

Should a quarrel arise, whate'er be the cause,
What is better by far than a whole code of laws?
It is the sweet practice we very well know,
Of always returning "A Kiss for a Blow."

Should any assail us in deed or in word,
Oh then let us act like our meek, patient Lord,
Who, e'en in the depths of the bitterest woe,
Returned in his anguish "A Kiss for a Blow."
