WHEN ROsINA COMES TO SEE US.

Rain may fall a pouring torrent,
Skies above be dark and drear,
Winds may howl with sound abhofrent-
When Rosina comes to see US,
All the world seems bright and cieari
Oh, the music of her laughter!
Oh, the sunshine in her eyes!
How it fingers, long time after!
When Rosina comes to MS,
Gladncss comes, and discord dies
Oh, the sympathy and sweetness
That she has for every one:
Sorrow flies with sudden feetness
When Rosina comes to see us,
As the mists before the sun.
She's bit OF heavens own beauty,
And to her what is is best.
Life means love, and sweet is duty.
When Rosina comes to see us,
On that day have been blest!
