CHAMBER SCENE.

She rose from her untrOubled sleep
And put away her soft brown hair,
And In tone as low and deep
As lovers whisper, breathed a prayer
Her snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling from the charms IL hid
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped a bare and slender foot,
Whose form upon the earth did press
Like a new snowflake, white and mute;
And there, from slumber pure and warm,
Like a young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed her slight and graceful form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
God IL souls unsoiled these
Need daily mercy from Thy throne;
II she, upon her bended knees,
Our loveliest and our purest one
She, with face so clear and bright
We deem her some stray child OF light;
II she, with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day in her first years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee
What far. far deeper need have we?
How hardly, II she win not heaven.
May our base errors be forgiven.
