THE CHILD'S OFFERING.
"The child Samuel ministered unto the Lord."—1 Sam. iii. 1.
A fair young child went wandering out,
One glorious day in June;
Flirting with bees that were humming about,
Kissing red buds with a rival pout,
And mocking the cuckoo's tune.
One glorious day in June;
Flirting with bees that were humming about,
Kissing red buds with a rival pout,
And mocking the cuckoo's tune.
