Poems (Tynan)/His Knowledge
HIS KNOWLEDGE
"No one will love you if you're naughty," said His nurse, demure and chill. The Three-years Wisdom shook his bird-bright head, And answered, "Mother will."
He built a castle of his bricks the while, Poised tower and bastion still; As one who suffers Folly with a smile, He answered, "Mother will."
