"Infancy's the tender fountain, / Power may with beauty flow, / Mother's first to guide the streamlets / From them souls unresting grow- / Grow on for the good or evil, / Sunshine streamed or evil hurled; / For the hand that rocks the cradle / Is the hand that rules the world.
嬰孩是幼弱的泉源，流出權力和美麗，是母親，首先引導那小溪，活潑的靈魂從那裡長起──長成善，或長成惡，流送陽光或流出暴力，因為那推動搖籃的手，那手也掌管著世界。
