Gilbert Keith Chesterton - The Ancient Of DaysGilbert Keith Chesterton - The Ancient Of Days
Work rating: Low


A child sits in a sunny place,   Too happy for a smile, And plays through one long holiday   With balls to roll and pile; A painted wind-mill by his side   Runs like a merry tune, But the sails are the four great winds of heaven,   And the balls are the sun and moon. A staring doll`s-house shows to him   Green floors and starry rafter, And many-coloured graven dolls   Live for his lonely laughter. The dolls have crowns and aureoles,   Helmets and horns and wings. For they are the saints and seraphim,   The prophets and the kings.
