A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Madge Morris Wagner

Ah! Reyenita, do not charge
  To selfishness thy teacher’s plea,
He seeks thine every wish to bless,
  His deepest fault is loving thee.
“Heaven’s kingdom,” said the Nazerene,
“Is in the heart;” sweet fairy queen
 Thou rulest along this realm of mine,
 Canst say I have no place in thine?
                                          SANSON.
