TaE LITTLE MISSIONARY.

l have INST her many mornings
With her basket On her arm,
And certain subtle charrJ,
Coming not from her adornings,
But the modest light that lies
Deep within her shaded eyes.
And she carries nought but blessing,
As she journeys up and down
Through the never-needing town,
With her looks the ground caressng;
Yet know her steps are bent
On some task Of good intent.
Maiden, though you do not ask It
And your modest eyes may wink,
I will tell you what think:
Queens might gladly bear your basket
II they could appear as true
And az good and sweet a. you.
