Or coming from the spriig.
And her timid recognition
Round my heart a halo hing.
Not for her are costly dresses,
Not for her are jewels rare
But her wealth Of golden freeses
Falling on her neck go fair
Form q head dress rich and radiant
For my maiden debopair.
The wild flowers are her iewsls-
The sweetly budding rose
Sho knnws each sparkling streanlet
Where the modest violet blows,
AMI the dark depths %: the forest
Where the lonely Wild sch grows.
Sha luves The grand old mountains
She loves each murinuriDx e'ree"'

Which in the sunlight gleam
Thasa the only threads of beauty
Mingled in her life's pure dream.
When DER the gloomy Forests,
The gentle moon appears,
And the night.blrd's cong of saduess.
ON the whispering brsezs she hears,
Mingled thoughts of grief and gladuess
Move her heart almost to tears.
When the radiant god of morning
Pain,s the distant eastern hill.
And bright flowers, with dew drops laden,
Lean Ger the tinkling ril,
oh what thoughts Of love and beauty.
Through her Utmost being thrill.
God preserve my little maiden,
All good and bright and pure!
And in each toll or trial,
She is called on to endure,
May every care and sorrow,
To her final good enure!
May the world. with all its pleasure,
Leave her heart untouched and free;
May her loved and cherished treasure
Be her spotless purity;
And religion fill the measure,
For a bless'd eternity!
