Chancellor's Conscience.

Like little mice, stole in and out,
As if they feared the more

Like little mice, stole in and out,
As if they feared the light:

No sun upon an Easter day
Is half so fine a sight.

all the paths they have trodden ever since they were the tender
and rosy little feet of a baby, and (cold as they now are) were
kept warm in his mother's hand.
