CHILDHOOD, by CHARLOTTE TALLEY

Subject(s): Children; Childhood
First Line: Away in the fair, sweet country
Last Line: As for sunshine that falls from above.
Subject(s): Children; Childhood
Away in the fair, sweet country
With the turquoise heavens above
Where the fragrant blossoms are opening
I meet my little love.
Eyes under shadowing lashes
Filled with wondering thought,
Lips holding for me sweet kisses
That bring me a pleasure unsought.
Through child life a foretaste of heaven,
Of innocence, purity, love,
In my heart finds an eager welcome
As for sunshine that falls from above.
