And with fond caresseS rested on her hair.
Though each canvas the impress Of genius bore,
She seemed the loveliest picture there.

When life was full of joy.

There are other faces sweet and fair
With eyes of brown and blue,
And lips that seem to smile again
As in days they used to do.
When life and hope were joyous
And friendship more than name
