"'Tis not easy to find
Sweet thoughts, good and true,
In nursery rhymes;
I wish, my dear Sue,
That those who love Jesus
Would oftener read
Those sweet words he uttered,
My lambs ye must feed![1]
"For this beautiful world,
So joyous and bright,
Has so many things
Of which poets might write.
"The blue sky above us,
The flowers and the trees,
The warbling of birds,
And the hum of the bees.
"These bright thoughts would give
Our darling great pleasure,
If written in simple,
And sweet-flowing measure.
- ↑ Lovest thou me? Feed my lambs.—John xxi.
