A Child Screening A Dove From A Hawk By Stewardson

AY, screen thy favourite dove, fair child,

Ay, screen it if you may,--Yet I misdoubt thy trembling

Will scare the hawk away.

That dove will die, that child will weep,--Is this their destinie?

Ever amid the sweets of

Some evil thing must be.

Ay, moralize,--is it not

We've mourn'd our hope and love?

Alas! there's tears for every eye,

A hawk for every dove!
