Beneath that banner true!

THE KINGS DAUGHTER.
She wears no jewel upon hand or brow ~, man.

Bat she walks in plain attire now
She is the daughter Of the Kns and when s'
Her Father calls her NJ his throne 10 wait
She shall be clothed AZ doth beht her state.
Her Father sent her in his land to dwell.
Giving to her a work that must be done,
And since the King loves all his people well.
Therefore she too, cares for them ey"ry one
Thus when she stoops 10 ~ from want and sin
The brighter shines her royalty therein
She walks erect through dangers manifold,
While many sink and faint on either hand
She breads not summers heat nor winters cold
For both subject to the Kings command.
She need not be afraid Of anything,
Because she f. a daughter OF the King.
And name with terror. It appals not her;
She turns 20 look al him with quickened breath
Thinking 1T is thu royal messenger
Her heart rejoicos that her Father calls
Ter back to live within his palace walls.
For though the land she dwelis in is mos, fair
Set round with streams IKE picture in It's frame.
Yet often In her heart deep longngs are
Not perfect quite seems any earthly thing.
