To plight hia troth to her—a child,
Who dad not heard the o'er•true take
Of Ma rash yanth and manhood wild.
And overhead are smiling skies.
As thoOLh to snow all Is well
And viflni. wane

And gaily rings the village helL

What those glad Jorbells wid to on.,
Who, tittle( by her lobe fireside,
Nursed tearfully her little son.
Yet overhead it, smiling skiu.,
As though to augur all Is well :
To drown ths Blithe
