WHY DO / LOVE HER SOl

WHY Dol LOVE HER SO'
A weary life IL mine, at best dst,us4tl
Few pl&Nsurea mine that others share--
And of, by lonely thoughts opprest,
1t seems that might well despair
But when my Little Friend" see,
A pleasant thing Il life TO me.
To know that she Ia at my side,
TO hold her little hand Ia mine,
10 watch her eyes that fondiy shine,
Her cherub face, that brightens up
With loves intelligence divine
With this my soul il satished,
And drains 4 pure, refreshing cup
OF calm and quiet happines:
In sweet content then repose
From sorrow . pAngs and passion y throes,
Without wish, save not 70 stir
From one whose very look can bless
Some wonder what ind in her
My heart 20 strangely to impress
A clever child, they must confess,
But nothing more, for all they see
Then other children Of her age,
Who scarce one thought OF mine engage.
Whencs c6neth, then, the witchery
That swAys me in her sweet control'
They know her not--and none Of earth,
SaveI, may ever know her worth
For cs have spoken soul TO soul.
And met in spirit face TO facs,
When all her mind = immortal grace,
Love. truth and goodness. shone revealed
In beauty from the world concealed.
Twas in an hour Of bitter pain,
When tho long agony OF years
Was crowded in moments space
When friends seemed false, and love as vain
And the wrung heart and burning brain
Could only find reiiefin tears
For despaired Of earthly good
She came scarce knew whence or how.
A light and glory round her brows
Sublimey beautiful she stood;
For ali Of earth had left her face,
And all Of heaven there might trace.
Her look sustained my heart, and cheered,
Her words my wounded spirit healed
The child, the mortal, disappeared,
And God g own angel stood revealed
Then did we soul with soul combine
So, am hers, and she is mine
Forever hers forever mine
Forth in the world see her go,
A common child TO common eyes
To mine star Of Paradise,
Unearthly, beautiful, divine!
No wonder that | love her go. JAS. MACK
