Explore "London Children" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We have had the pleasure of hearing and seeing several clever children from the city of London. We commemorate them in the following.
Do you unto this world belong, / To cheer us merrily with song?
Are you mortal like ourselves, / Or are you, charming little elves, / Sent from some higher sphere / To bliss and comfort us while here?
May you be spared from earthly woes / And each blossom like the rose.
