A blooming maiden OF the airest mould
A gem that sparkrd in the proud.anay,
So rich, rare, peerless to behold.
o, she young aud beautiful her eyes
Conveyed the melting kindness OF her heart;
And some who saw her, gazd with stih'd sighs,
And felt the pleasure pains OF beautys dart
She fondly eand upon her noble SIRE
And must have been his dearest, youngestborn,
As pure as gold from the rehner's fire,
As sweet as op'ning rosebud Of The morn
Her smile was enhancing, serene,
1t came DER all as radiance from the sky;
And oh, there wtchery of mien
That prose or poetry will e'er defy.
Upon the rail in front, saw her hand
A snowy hand, be,raying one chaste ring
And thought OF music from some fairy land,
If that sweet hand should touch the trembling string
O, lovely maiden thou may'st vanish far
But that bright image my heart remains
And though scorn the sav'ry of Car,
WOO the sav'ry of thy rosy chains. d.
