From early days you gave me joy
and taught me with unmeasured hand
the way of laughter's sweet employ
to keep its healing my command;
unnumbered tears wiped from my eyes
by you who shared in all my sighs
and gave me free your shoulder strong,
so making childhood like a song.
Today you ask for my report
full knowing what I have to say,
yet still you must put on the play
and query forth to hear in short:
"As dear to me as salt are you;
as dear as water, love of you."
