Subject(s): Children; Innocence; Childhood
By the summer roadside
In bushes huddling,
Three children I saw,
Scared by the motor's rush,
With sweet faces peering
As we went by;
Confronting fears and danger,
With loveliness of mien.
What can the world dash at me
With dangers and power to kill,
That I should not confront
As simply and sweetly as they?
