REWARD OF MERIT

CHILDREN AT PLAY

I love to see the gathered throng

Of children in their play,

And listen to their artless song

So innocently gay…

A thousand tongues proclaim

His arm almighty, Mind all wise,

And bid each voice in chorus rise

To magnify his name….

To Almon(?) Bristol CHARLES B. GILBERT.
