Hyett, [1923]\nGO pretty child, and bear this flower\n Unto thy little Saviour;\n And tell Him, by that bud now blown,\n He is the Rose of Sharon known:\n When thou hast said so, stick it there\n Upon his bib, or stomacher:\n And tell Him, (for good handsell too)\n That thou hast bought a whistle new,\n Made of a clean straight oaten reed,\n To charm His cries, (at time of need:)\n Tell Him, for coral, thou hast none;\n But if thou hadst, He should have one;\n But poor thou art, and known to be\n Even as moneyless as He.\n Lastly, if thou canst win a kiss\n From those mellifluous lips of His;\n Then never take a second on\n To spoil the first impression.\n--ROBERT HERRICK","title":"Fifty Christmas Poems for Children: To His Saviour, A Child; A Present By A Child","type":"page"}
