POETICALI
LITTLE ROSE


Sh, comes with fairy footsteps;
Softly their echoes fall:
And her shadow falls like summer Shaoe
Across the garden wall.
The golden light is dancing bright
Mid the mazes Of her hair,
And her fair young locks are waving free
To the wooing of the air.
Like sportful fawn she houndcth
So glcefully along,
And as a wild young bird she carrole'h
The burden of song, .,..,.
The summer flowers are clustering '"''"
Around her dancing feet,
And on her cheek the summer oreeIe
Is breathing soft and sweet
The very sunbeam seems to llnser
Above that holy head;
And the wild flowers at her coming
Their richest fragrance Shed.
And oh. how lovely light and fragrance
Mincle in tho life within!
Oh! how fondly do they nestle
Round the soul that knows no sin!
She comes, the spirit Of our childhood
4 thing of mortal birth,
Yet bearing still breath Of Heaven,
To redeem her from the earth.
She comes in brght-robed innocence,
Unsoiled by blot or blight.
And passeth by our hayward path,
A glcam of angel light.
OH. blessed things arc children!
The gifts of heavenly love;
They stand betwixt our worldly hearts
And better things above.
They link us with the spirit world
By purity and truth,
And keep our hearts still fresh and young
With the presence Of their youth.
