With the magic Of her presence
She svayeth every heart;
Her eyes the very essence
OF love and joy impart.

And she greets them in reply;
Young children run to meet her,
Whenever she comes by.
When last we sat together
Within the evening air,
And I was wondering whether
The angels wer. as fair,
In tones that ever move me,
She asked me sdft and low,
Why do all people love me,
And smile uponme sol

For love is born of love;
Thy heart, with kindness laden,
All hearts to kindness move, .....
Each smiling face that meets thee
Is amirror of thine own; -..
Each gentle word that greets thee
Echoes thy soft tone
When the rising sun tomorrow
Shall look upon the earth,
The dewdrops of her sorrow
Will pass away i'll mirth;
From forest, field and river,
Bright smiles On him shall CLEAN,
But they only give The girer
