TO A CHILD, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR

First Line: Love me, till you learn to judge me
Last Line: The torment of your wondering scorn.
Subject(s): Children; Childhood
LOVE me, till you learn to judge me,
With candid sweetness unreserved.
Your growing reason must begrudge me
The honour I have not deserved.
But linger not to look beyond
When once the kindly veil is torn,
And spare a heart that still is fond
The torment of your wondering scorn.
