Thine eye is glancing bright,
And round those lips smile doth play,
Most beautiful to the sight.
Thy laugh rings joyous on the air,
Ever merrily and clear;
A happy elf thou soemst, that care
Ne'cr dares to venture near.
You sing--the swelling notes expand,
And like some rich perfume
Brought by IN unseen, fairy hand,
They drive away the gloom
Thy voice is MS some magic Tyre,
That angel fingers move

Or mclts the heart with love.
Where er the merry festol ring,
Still runs its happy round,
Soaring on Pleasures lghtcst wing,

And at thy glance pale Fear and Doubt,
And Melancholy gray,

Until they fade away.

From bosoms beating fast.
