And cheek like opening blossom
Bright gems were twined amid her hair,
And glittered on her bosom,
And pearl and costly bracelets deck
Her round white arms and lovely neck.
Like summers sky, with stars bedght,
The jewellsd robe around her,
And dazzing as the noontide Ii yht
The radiant zone that bound her;
And pride and joy were in her eye,
And mortals bowed as she passed BY.
Another came --o'cr her mild face
A pensive shade was stealing,

But that deep holy feeling,
Which mourns the heart should ever stray
From the pure iount of Truth away.
Around her brow, "a snow-drop fair,
The glossy tresses cluster,
Nor pearl nor ornament was there,
Save the meek spirits lustre-
And faith and hope beamod from her eye,
And angels bowed as she passed by

And as changeable, ye.'
