ny MRS. MARY s. WHITAKER
When scented violois cpd tleir laughing eyes,
And purple daises hower'd beneath the Skies
The spring-li like skies Of soft and golden hue
Another how'ret bloon'd before my view,
Whose angel form and eye Of purest light
And rosebud lip and smile celestial bright
Seem'd won from worlds ofinnoceDcG and Bliss
Too gentle and too seraph-liko for this;
But mournful grows my heart fair child, for thee
And shadows rise in dim futurity;
Earth Is too cold and sad for one so dear,
Thou wingless angel, wandering from Thy sphere
! would not sec the eart-staiD mar my spouess
mind
would not have thee hear one word unkind.i--
y, would ever shield sweet babe my li'e -,s
From SANDERS poisonous breath, and care and sriie,
] would that life one rosy spring might prove,
And naught approach thy steps save ruin ana love.
Vain wish II spard thou arr thro' coming years.
Mans doom Is thine, add It's b.ent with tears
NV lovely infant thou dost slumber now,
With din,plng cheek and calmness on thy brow,
Unconscious all of what the world may be,
A strange and wild'ring place perchance TO thee.
Now hope awakes within my sadden'd heart
And glowing visions into being start.
see thee, beauty crown'd and genius blest,
Rank nobly with earths greatest, first and best
Thy limbs feeble yet thy bird-ike voice Is weak
Thy little velvet hand is soft and fair,
And rich the hue of thy bright Saxon hair;
Is early death for thee, beloved onei
Babes, Young as thou, sleep calm beneath the stone
And In the realms of everlasting light
Are cherub children, beautiful and bright:
Lo more than mortals lovely, best they stand,
Amid the fow'rs Of heaven that infant band
Oh should weep my loss, but still my signs
And fearful yield thee angel to the skies
