Still linger in our noon of time	A
And on our Saxon tongue	B
The echoes of the home born hymns	C
The Aryan mothers sung	B
	-
And childhood had its litanies	D
In every age and clime	A
The earliest cradles of the race	E
Were rocked to poet's rhyme	A
	-
Nor sky nor wave nor tree nor flower	F
Nor green earth's virgin sod	G
So moved the singer's heart of old	H
As these small ones of God	G
	-
The mystery of unfolding life	I
Was more than dawning morn	J
Than opening flower or crescent moon	K
The human soul new born	J
	-
And still to childhood's sweet appeal	L
The heart of genius turns	M
And more than all the sages teach	N
From lisping voices learns	M
	-
The voices loved of him who sang	O
Where Tweed and Teviot glide	P
That sound to day on all the winds	Q
That blow from Rydal side	P
	-
Heard in the Teuton's household songs	R
And folk lore of the Finn	S
Where'er to holy Christmas hearths	T
The Christ child enters in	S
	-
Before life's sweetest mystery still	U
The heart in reverence kneels	T
The wonder of the primal birth	V
The latest mother feels	T
	-
We need love's tender lessons taught	W
As only weakness can	X
God hath His small interpreters	T
The child must teach the man	X
	-
We wander wide through evil years	T
Our eyes of faith grow dim	A
But he is freshest from His hands	T
And nearest unto Him	A
	-
And haply pleading long with Him	A
For sin sick hearts and cold	H
The angels of our childhood still	U
The Father's face behold	H
	-
Of such the kingdom Teach Thou us	T
O Master most divine	Y
To feel the deep significance	T
Of these wise words of Thine	Y
	-
The haughty eye shall seek in vain	Z
What innocence beholds	T
No cunning finds the key of heaven	A2
No strength its gate unfolds	T
	-
Alone to guilelessness and love	B2
That gate shall open fall	C2
The mind of pride is nothingness	T
The childlike heart is all	C2
