Excerpt from The Soul of a Child and Other Poems
I've heard it declared That, when he is dared, The Devil quotes Scripture to purpose And maybe that's why I myself have a try To write sanctimonious verses. But if they do good As I wish that they could No matter in what the direction, I don't care a jot If you like them or not, For I lay no claim to perfection.
