Lesson:

1. 'What are you good for, my brave little man?


Answer that question for me, if you can,--


You, with your fingers as white as a nun,--


You, with your ringlets as bright as the sun.


All the day long, with your busy contriving,


Into all mischief and fun you are driving;


See if your wise little noddle can tell


What you are good for. Now ponder it well.'





2. Over the carpet the dear little feet


Came with a patter to climb on my seat;


Two merry eyes, full of frolic and glee,


Under their lashes looked up unto me;


Two little hands pressing soft on my face,


Drew me down close in a loving embrace;


Two rosy lips gave the answer so true,


'Good to love you, mamma, good to love you.'





Emily Huntington Miller.
