What sappy star shone on her birth:
What grassy corner of the earth
(srs.x daisies for her beby feet
To dance between, since they repeat.
On al tie fiOWerless ways they pass,
Tn 4 breezy motion OF the grass
What brock bewitched her TO its brink.
And drew her fresh lips down 10 drink
IT,, music, while il slipped unseen
rs happy cadenceS betweens-
~ sweet and glad the voice that slips
F-olu ambush of her maiden lips
what winds upon the hills gave room
To her, and huffeted to bloom
Her rounded cheeks, and made her hair
\ living sunshine ia the air.
For still, like sun-gleam> on Il rose,
Her hayward color comes and goes.
What graybeard tree upon the down
Caught. rs she sped, her floating gown,
A nd whispered through his ancient girth
The long dumb sorrow of the estrth:-
For the sweet pity in her eyes
Almost their gladness overlieS.
