THE CHILD OF A KING.

By E. H. Chase

BY E. H. CHASE.

A PRINCESS! You would not have thought it, Her gown was so faded and plain; "Bound out" for her food and a shelter, And toiling in sun and in rain, Running her errands so quickly, Milking the cows in the lane, Yet happy and sweet as the morning, With no thought that she might complain.

"How is it," I asked this sweet maiden, "That you can so cheerily sing; That service so faithful and loving You are ever so ready to bring?" She looked in my face for a moment, And a light from her eyes seemed to spring; "Why should I not joy?" she made answer, "For I am the 'child of a King.'"
