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.

4. A Valentine's Song
5. Songs of Travel and Other Verses. 14. Bright is the ring of words
