And 1 that should be strong am weak - I cannot say you nay. Oh, little boy, my little boy, A vision cornea to me ! J tee a eblid that seldom amUed Or uttered shouts of glee. Within his breast bis yearnings died, And, buffeted from side to side, He learned humility. Oh, little boy, my little boy, I hear you plead, and Io! There comes to'me another's piea ; There comes from long ago The l.ttle voice of one that knew ¡few pleasures, pleading, dear, for yOU--- How can 1 answer no? Ob, little boy, my little boy. Ask what you will to-day ! •You shall not fret while I may let You have your gleeful way ; For far out there where you must go The world will often answer no— Be master while you may. —fl. E. Kflser.
