With soft blue eyes and golden hair

Al eve In rosy health she slept.
Ere morn above her corpse We wept.
How on our household fell the blow.
How walled the village in its VICE.
And when we laid her from our sight
Deep IN the graves perpetual night
All that of her on earth remained
Was one poor image dim and stained
A picture made In earlier years,
Now The last solsoe OF our tears.
All. day by day we saw IL fade.
And none knew how il might be stayed,
Until We came, in our despair,
ToGAsE. and left our treasure there.
We cleaned no comfort from his eve,
His words were simply a. will try"
And so almost Of hope eerertI
Our treasure In his care We lett-
We came acain-beheld the change,
How wonderful, how passing strange
For now in lines that cannot fade,
In soft harmonious light aud shade,
Wrought by the painters patient viii.
The picture grew beneath his skin,
Until the face tina: on Us beams
The living face Of Nyra seems
The soft blue eyes. the Eavy hair,
Just tossed and tangled 10y the aiT,

But living Ayra 20 rs brought
