Child Ballad

© Charles Kingsley

Jesus, He loves one and all,
Jesus, He loves children small,
Their souls are waiting round His feet
On high, before His mercy-seat.

Rosamund

I dwell where England narrows running north;

We could let our neighbors know it in a quick and easy way.

The Borough. Letter IV: Sects And Professions In Religion

"SECTS in Religion?"--Yes of every race

We nurse some portion in our favour'd place;

"Now that I have won"

Now that I have won
Long despaired of peace,
And those fears are flown
That vext so my heart's ease;

Night Lyric

ON the world's far edges
Faint and blue,
Where the rocky ledges
Stand in view,
