THE SILENT GIRL.
~ SAMUEL

FE A S-@N N14 Et- AEZF NM M
She seldom spake yet she impaired
Far more than language q I'D
So rd-like, bright and tends hearted
So natural and good
Her air, her look, her rest, her actions,
Were voice enough for her;
What needs a tongue, when those attractions
Our inmost hearts could stir
She seldom talked but unlimited,
Would cheerus with q song
And oft her banda our cara delighted
Sweeping the keys along;
And oft, when converse round would lHnguish,
Ask'd or unask'd, she read
Some tale Of ~gladness or Of anguish.
And 50 our evenings sped.
She seldom spake but ahe would listen,
With all the signs of soul
Her cheek would change, her eye would glistcnE;
The sigh, the smile upstole.
Who did not understand and love herr
With meaning thus o'erfraught
Though silent as the sky above her,
Like that she kindly thought.
Little she spake; but dear attentions
From her would ~coasclcss rise,
She CHECKED our wants BY kind preventions,
She hush'd tho children's cries.
Aud twinihgi abe would give her mother
A long aud loving kiss
The same to father, sister brother,
All round, nor one would miss.
She seldom apake she speaka no lOngers
She sleeps beneath yon rose;
IT'S well for us thatties no stronger
Awaken memory's woes.
For oh our hearts would sure be broken,
Already drain'd Of tears,
III frequent tones by her outspoken,
Still iinger'd in our ears.
