DAISY'S PRAYER.
Darling little Daisy, With her golden hair, Sitting at the table In her own high chair. Closed her dewy eyelids Over blue eyes bright ; Dropped her golden laahea Over cheeks bo white. Bending o'er the table, Little head so fair ; Daisy's suppar's waiting lill she says her prayer. So she clasps her fingers, As when wont to pray : " 9, *}> r dear mc i" sighs Daisy, What does papa say ?" Lower bows her forehead O'er the table then, And she whispers softly, " Jesua's sake, — Amen," Darling little Daisy, With your winsome face, May the blessed Saviour Daily give you grace ! May you never venture, Any path to take Till you ask God's blessing For dear Jesua's sake. When tho light of childhood Shall have left your brow, May your faith in Jesus Be as pure as now I From all sin and wandering, May good angels keep ; And at last in Jesus May she fall asleep. Bißhopscourt, Roalyn, January 1894.
