The Gift

By Louis V. Ledoux

1880-1948

Let others give you wealth and love,
         And guard you while you live;
I cannot set my gift above
         The gifts that others give.

And yet the gift I give is good:
         In one man's eyes to see
The worship of your maidenhood
         While children climb your knee.
