Life was to me a summer day,
So full Of youth and bloom.
OF light and loveliness; and earth,
A garden Of perfume.

Could be BY storms o'crcast;

Would fall. too light TO last.
And yet I've liv'd 10 sec that sky

To see earth's flow'rets fade and die.

She started up with cry of pleasure
and as Charles met the light Of her
clear, unshrinking eyes, he was humbled
that he should have suspected her, and
deeply struck with repentance at HE own

that drew him abroad; and If the pure
