They won't frown always,—some sweet day

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)

      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.
