POETRY FOR CHILDREN. THE BLIND BOY. OH fay what is that thing call'd light You talk of wondrous things you fee; You fay the fun shines bright; I feel him warm, but how can he Or make it day or night? My day or night myself I make With heavy fighs I often hear Then let not what I cannot have The COMPLAINTS of the POOR. AND wherefore do the Poor complain? Come walk abroad with me, I faid, 'Twas evening, and the frozen streets Were cheerless to behold, And we were wrapt and coated well, And yet we were a-cold. We met an old bare-headed man, 'Twas bitter keen indeed, he said, We met a young bare-footed child, I afk'd her what fhe did abroad She faid her father was at home And therefore was it fhe was fent Abroad to beg for bread. |
