“ GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE [1]
JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY
"God bless us every one!" prayed Tiny Tim,
Crippled, and dwarfed of body, yet so tall
Of soul, we tiptoe earth to look on him,
High towering over all. ”

“ Above the golden walls—the morning sun
Of Christmas bursting flower-like with the prayer,
"God bless us Every One!"
