637 <br /> <br />The Child's faith is new— <br />Whole—like His Principle— <br />Wide—like the Sunrise <br />On fresh Eyes— <br />Never had a Doubt— <br />Laughs—at a Scruple— <br />Believes all sham <br />But Paradise— <br /> <br />Credits the World— <br />Deems His Dominion <br />Broadest of Sovereignties— <br />And Caesar—mean— <br />In the Comparison— <br />Baseless Emperor— <br />Ruler of Nought— <br />Yet swaying all— <br /> <br />Grown bye and bye <br />To hold mistaken <br />His pretty estimates <br />Of Prickly Things <br />He gains the skill <br />Sorrowful—as certain— <br />Men—to anticipate <br />Instead of Kings—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-child-s-faith-is-new/
