[29] [To Sarah Foxcroft's Infant]

[Page f.54v]

    To Sarah Foxcroft's Infant
I will not seek to fathom God’s decrees
Now look beyond the present happy time,
Trusting that, careless as the summer breeze
A hand divine will lead thee through
                                             thy prime

                                                                DW
                               Copied Nov 11 – 1836
