The Royal Picture Alphabet John Leighton With learning may laughter be found,"'Tis good to be merry and wise;"To gaily get over the ground, As higher and higher we rise. Some children their letters may learn, While others will surely do more, As the subjects suggestively turnTo matters not thought of before.
