The Child's faith is new---
Whole---like His Principle---
Wide---like the Sunrise
On fresh Eyes---
---
Never had a Doubt---
Laughs---at a Scruple---
Believes all sham
But Paradise---
---
Credits the World---
Deems His Dominion
Broadest of Sovereignties---
And Caesar---mean---
In the Comparison---
Baseless Emperor---
Ruler of Nought,
Yet swaying all---
---
Grown bye and bye
To hold mistaken
His pretty estimates
Of Prickly Things
He gains the skill
Sorrowful---as certain---
Men---to +anticipate
Instead of kings---
---
+propitiate
