"A child's kiss Set on thy sighing..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A child's kiss Set on thy sighing lips shall make thee glad; A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich; A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong; Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense Of service which thou renderest.
