Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch - Jenifer's Love

Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch - Jenifer's Love

Small is my secret-let it pass- br Small in your life the share I had, br Who sat beside you in the class, br Awed by the bright superior lad: br Whom yet with hot and eager face br I prompted when he missed his place. br br For you the call came swift and soon: br But sometimes in your holidays br You meet me trudging home at noon br To dinner through the dusty ways, br And recognized, and with a nod br Passed on, but never guessed-thank God! br br Truly our ways were separate. br I bent myself to hoe and drill, br br Yea, with an honest man to mate, br Fulfilling God Almighty's will; br And bore him children. But my prayers br Were yours-and, only after, theirs.
