"PARENT TO TEACHER"
I bring to you my daughter
Till now she has been wholly mine
I must recede and share with you
In teaching her a task divine.
If I should over-anxious seem
Forgive me – for I love her so
And ’tis my very life of me
The things that bring zeal or woe.
Till now the I said and did
Were held by her as right and true
Now she will look to you for help
And quote to the things you do.
I know that you can teach her book
No thought of that I need to give
But answer me this question please
O will you teach her how to live?
