Poems, Series 3: IX. They won't frown always

IX. They won't frown always

THEY won't frown always, -- some sweet day
        When I forget to tease,
They'll recollect how cold I looked,
        And how I just said 'please.'

Then they will hasten to the door
        To call the little child,
Who cannot thank them, for the ice
        That on her lisping piled.
