from her pen:
ONLY RIBBON.
Only ribbon that once bound tho curls
of n sunny head
~ faded and crumplcd ribbon, like a
flower whose bloom had icd-
Tho flower that lay on my bosom for a
brief, sweet, sunlit day,
And then, in the silence and shadows
faded and passed away.
My baby! My little baby! Tho my lips
arc ever dumb
from my eyes no passionate tears-no
healing toars may come
1ot my heart grows sick with longing,
as once more behold
The faded ribbon that nevcrmorc may
bind those waves of gold.
Longing for little hands that never may
touch again,
For little nesting head that oft on my
heart hath lain,
For the sound of a baby voice, soem to
hear it now
Mammal baby! my baby! with
the soft cnrls DER her brow!
Gone-likc a dream too pure for this sin
cursed world to keep!
Why should that bright ono stay where
We all must griove and weep
Better to know that she, whom could
not shield from harm,
Is gathered, forever safe, in tho Circle of
His Arm.
