| David, The Boy (Inspired by Daniel Radcliffe's performance in the role of David Copperfield)) You never knew your father, sweet lad Yet when I look in your eyes I can’t help thinking he must have had A countenance strong and wise Your frail sweet mother blessed you too With a nature warm and kind Could the best of both of them be you, In heart, in soul, in mind? You humbly take what ill fate befalls you And stoically bear the pain What you say and do always rings true You are honest, you are genuine All that endeared you to Peggotty, child And to all whom you have touched Is evident in your endearing smile You’ve had little, yet you give much Your great aunt told you,“never be false” You would not know how to be Your very nature is, by impulse A beacon for all to see It shines upon your innocent face Leaving those you’ve touched beguiled May your pain disappear; may joy take its place For you are one precious child! |
