I HAVE a boy of five years old	A
His face is fair and fresh to see	B
His limbs are cast in beauty s mold	A
And dearly he loves me	B
	-
One morn we strolled on our dry walk	C
Or quiet home all full in view	D
And held such intermitted talk	C
As we are wont to do	D
	-
My thoughts on former pleasures ran	E
I thought of Kilve's delightful shore	F
Our pleasant home when spring began	E
A long long year before	F
	-
A day it was when I could bear	G
Some fond regrets to entertain	H
With so much happiness to spare	G
I could not feel a pain	H
	-
The green earth echoed to the feet	I
Of lambs that bounded through the glade	J
From shade to sunshine and as fleet	I
From sunshine back to shade	J
	-
Birds warbled round me and each trace	K
Of inward sadness had its charm	L
Kilve thought I was a favoured place	K
And so is Liswyn farm	L
	-
My boy beside me tripped so slim	M
And graceful in his rustic dress	N
And as we talked I questioned him	M
In very idleness	O
	-
'Now tell me had you rather be '	-
I said and took him by the arm	L
'On Kilve's smooth shore by the green sea	B
Or here at Liswyn farm '	-
	-
In careless mood he looked at me	B
While still I held him by the arm	L
And said 'At Kilve I'd rather be	B
Than here at Liswyn farm '	-
	-
'Now little Edward say why so	P
My little Edward tell me why '	-
'I cannot tell I do not know '	-
'Why this is strange ' said I	Q
	-
'For here are woods hills smooth and warm	R
There surely must one reason be	B
Why you would change sweet Liswyn farm	L
For Kilve by the green sea '	-
	-
At this my boy hung down his head	S
He blushed with shame nor made reply	Q
And three times to the child I said	S
'Why Edward tell me why '	-
	-
His head he raised there was in sight	T
It caught his eye he saw it plain	H
Upon the house top glittering bright	T
A broad and gilded vane	H
	-
Then did the boy his tongue unlock	U
And eased his mind with this reply	Q
'At Kilve there was no weather cock	U
And that's the reaon why '	-
	-
O dearest dearest boy my heart	V
For better lore would seldom yearn	W
Could I but teach the hundredth part	V
Of what from thee I learn	W
