Love

The Elementary Teacher wrote:

He came to my desk with a quivering lip,

"Have you a new sheet for me dear Teacher,

I've spoiled this one."

I took his sheet all spoiled and blotted

and gave him a new one all unspotted

and into his tired heart I cried,

"Start again my child..."

I went to the throne with a trembling heart

the day was done...

"Have you a new day for me, Dear Master,

I've spoiled this one."

He took my day all spoiled and blotted

and gave me a new one all unspotted

and into my tired heart He cried,

"Start over my child..."
