The child's faith is new

The Child's faith is new -
Whole - like His Principle -
Wide - like the Sunrise
On fresh Eyes -
Never had a Doubt -
Laughs - at a scruple -
Believes all sham
But Paradise -

Credits the World -
Deems His Dominion
Broadest of Sovreignties -
And Caesar - mean -
In the Comparison -
Baseless Emperor -
Ruler of nought,
Yet swaying all -

Grown bye and bye
To hold mistaken
His pretty estimates
Of Prickly Things
He gains the skill
Sorrowful - as certain -
Men - to anticipate
Instead of Kings -
