The Youngest Son's Farewell
by Adolph Tidemand
by Charles Kingsley. Kingsley's short poem instructs us on putting our good intentions into action.
My fairest child, I have no song to give you;
No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray;
Yet, ere we part, one lesson I can leave you
For every day.
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
Do noble things, not dream them all day long:
And so make life, death, and that vast forever
One grand, sweet song
