Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFFHunger points a bony finger | A |
To the workhouse on the hill | B |
But the little children linger | A |
While there's flowers to gather still | B |
For my sunny window sill | B |
- | |
In my hands I take their faces | C |
Smiling to my smiles they run | D |
Would that I could take their places | C |
Where the murky bye ways shun | D |
The benedictions of the sun | D |

How they laugh and sing returning | E |
Lightly on their secret way | F |
While I listen in my yearning | E |
Their laughter fills the windy day | F |
With gladness youth and May | F |
