Lydia Maria Francis Child Poems

That little lock of silvery hair
Reminds me of what friendly care!
And gratefully my memory pays
Its tribute to departed days.
...

FEW, in the days of early youth,
Trusted like me in love and truth.
I ’ve learned sad lessons from the years;
But slowly, and with many tears;
...

Over the river and through the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
...
