And with laughter ever grcets me,

Where the saddened heart and weary,
Shades the sunlight, shining near me,
On my way.

(only aged about eleyen),
But unto her God has given
Such heart,
That forever she is singing,
And her sweet voice ringing,
Beauty Ger the rapt heart bringing,
- Sweet as art.
With her sunny hair, so curly,
With her teeth so white and pearly,
have met her late and early,
rE= BY the way,
And take her hand and press it
In my own, just to caress it

May the world smile kindly on her, Ga, Is

Angels be her guard of honor,
As she goes
Through this world of ours singing,
Peace to troubled spirits bringing, sl
No grief her pure heart wringing --
With its woe. ~au

Brightest crown that eer was given,
Where the waves of life are driven
Past the throne
Echo to her dainty finger,
Pom her pure brow ever lingsr,
