find it is a much more important feature

Why soon you will be tall enough to go TO school

So kneel beside me, darling, here, and say your

To have a romp in mammals bed; just think, what

With throbbing heart and dewy eyes beside the

Where Eva still slept soundly, her arms embracing
tight
The gown her mother wore when she had kissed
her pet good night
Its ribbons with her silent tears were stained and
limp and wet,
Around the white and dirnpled neck an empty
sleeve was set;
While Mary slept she stole away, ere dawn had lit
the sky,
That something Of her idol near her sinless breast
might lie;
Unheeded. save by Him who marks each grief en-
dured alone,
She sought and found her solacc for the first that
she had known.
