• Children, do you ever,
      In walks by land or sea,
    Meet a little maiden
      Long time lost to me!

    She is gay and gladsome,
      Has a laughing face,
    And a heart as sunny;
      And her name is Grace.

    Naught she knows of sorrow,
      Naught of doubt or blight;
    Heaven is just above her—
      All her thoughts are white....
