All! she was fair,
Dear. very fair,
With freight upon her hair!
Tue black midnight
Would find lis still
Before the blaze.
And here, until
Tho cru1nbling sticks
Had spread in two.
We'd cit. my child,
And talk Of you.
Now. little girl,
TITS you and T.
Your mother went
When fall passed by;
And here We sit
And list the purr
OF burning logs
And talk of her.
Up on the hill
Your mother sweet
Rests quietly
Her head and feet
Deep under snow
From stormy skies;
But you, my pet.
Have her blue eyes!
