With sparkling, speaking eyer

Her merry laugh and cry.
o, where has little Maggie gore,
We miss her all the day?
We miss her when the morning breaks,
When daylight fades away.
We look all through the lonely house
Out at the open door,
And everywhere no sight of her;
For back she comes no more.
She is gone where none are lost,
10 her good Shepherds fold;
With dove-like wings she's waiting
In the shining streets Of gold. n
