Fibre by fibre, shred by shred
Il falls from her delicate hand
In feathery films as soft Is slow
As fall the fakes OF a vanishing snow
In the lap Of summer land
There are jewels of price in her roseate ears.
And gold round her white wrist coils;
There are costly triaes on every hand,
And gems of art from many land,
In the chamber where she tolls.
A rare bird sings in gilded cage,
At the open easement near;
sunray fits through swaying bough,
And lights with diamond radiance now
The dew of falling tear,
A 500 floats cut to the summer air,
With the song-bird's latest trill.
The gossamer folds of the drapery
Are waved by the swell of long, low sigh,
And the delicate hands are still
.'Ah, beauty of earth is naught, is naught,
And a gilded youth is vain
| have seen a sisters SCARED face shine
With youth and beauty all divine
By the soldiers couch of pain =
Il have read of another whose passing shade
On their pillows the mangled kissed
In the far Crimea There are no more tears.
But she plucks the gems from her delicate ears,
And the gold from her slender wrist
The bird still clings to its gilded cage;
But the Angel in her heart
Hath stung her soul with noble pain;
And beauty is naugat and youth is vain.
While the Patriots wounds still smart
Fibre by fibre, shred by shred
Still fall from her delicate hand
The feathery films, as soft and slow
As fall the fakes of vanishing snow
In the lap of summer land.
There are crimson stains on breasts and brows,
And fllets in ghastly coils;
The walls are lofty, and white, and bare.
And moaning echoes roll ever there
Through the chamber where she tolls.
No glitter Of gold on her slender wrist
Nor gem il her roseate ears;
But 4 youth and beauty all divine
In the face of the Christian maiden shine,
And her gems are the soldiers tears
