thus be easily kept sweet and clean.

With steps secure and free,
To take its straight and onward path
Over life's path with me.

So much that might walk beneath
Its shadows DER me thrown.
Wanted--An eye within whose depth,
Mine own might look and see,
Uprising from guileless heart,
O'erhown with love for me!
Wanted-A lip whose kindest smile
Would speak for me alone,
A voice whose richest melody
Would breathe affections tones.
Wanted-A true religious soul
To Pious purpose given,
With whom my own might pass along
The road that leads to heaven!
