Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson

A Child's Garden of Verses. 5. Whole Duty of Children

A child should always say what's true
And speak when he is spoken to, 
And behave mannerly at table;
At least as far as he is able.

2. About the Sheltered Garden Ground
3. An English Breeze
4. To Sydney
5. Sonet VI. As in the Hostel by the Bridge I Sate
