My first in BOOKS, but not in READ;
My next in WRITE, to this take HEED;
In KINDNESS as we pass along;
Fourth, not in WEAK, but found in STRONG,
The fifth in MUST and TIME you’ll find;
In LEAF and TREE sixth bring to mind.
A seventh from ANSWER we must take;
The last in BRITTLE, never BREAK.
These letters joined will tell of one,
Who poured the whole on God’s dear Son.
