Like a colt's ffor work be shod

RE: Court's. ACITIVE LIFE-

Court's appreciation of youth at an early age.

Barefoot boy, continued

"Blessings on the , barefoot boy!"

......................................

......................................

"Still as my horizons grew,

Larger grew my riches too;

All the world I saw or knew

Seemed a complex Chinese toy

Fashioned for a barefoot boy!

....................................

.......................................

Every morning shall lead thee through

Fresh baptisms of the dew:

Every evening from thy feet

Shall the cool winds kiss the heat:

All too soon these feet must hide

In the prison cells of pride,

Lose the freedom of the sod,

LIKE A COLT'S FOR WORK BE SHOD,

Made to tread the mills of toil,

Up and down in ceaseless moil:

Happy if their tracks be found

Never on forbidden ground;

Happy if they sink not in

Quick and threacherous sands of sin.

Ah that thou couldst know thy joy,

Ere it passes, barefoot boy

Court does, Court does

I touched some key that puts my puctuation at the begining of the sentences sorry
