MY JEWEL.

Nediamonds CLEAN on my pulsiug breasts
No gems are in my hair
Splendid rnbies aud milk. white pearls
Arc not Tor me 10 wear.
rmay perehauee have had my dream,
In hzppy maiden days,
OF future splcndor which would eeem
One bright cffulgent blaze;
When silken robes and jewels rare
My stately form should know,
nv costly bracelets should wear
Upon my arms of snow.
But maiden dreams arc wont TO fail,
And so mine Slipped away;
And yet ono gem more rare than all
Is on my breast to- day.
Exquisite in her purity,
And fair as any pearl
have no diamonds, but have
My little bIue-eyed girl.
