I have laid you away as we lay <br />The toys of a little dead child, <br />You know you are safe in my heart; <br />You know I have set you apart <br />In my heart, and hid you away, <br />Because joy that prattled and smiled <br />In the heart becomes grief to the heart, <br />Laying its youth away <br />With the toys of a little dead child.<br /><br />Arthur Symons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/toys-13/
