THE LITTLE HEROINE.

BY q schoolyard where the children played
/ paused awhile to see;
Among them was little maid
Who sweetly glanced at me.
While others laughed and raced and
danced
With many a graceful air.
She stood aside alone and glanced
With glad eyes at them there.
Her face was beautiful and sweet,
But hapless little one,
She stood on twisted, withered feet,
That ne'er were made to run.
/ thought of Gods mysterious ways.
And watched her where she stood:
I wondered if she gave Him praise
And deemed Him wise and good.
Her playmates joined their hands ere long.
And, hedging her about,
Danced round her with a merry song
And many a happy shout.
I saw her clap her hands, her voice
In gleeful accents rang:
She had the courage to rejoice
With those who danced and sang.
/ left them where they gladly played
A sweet voice seemed to cry:
"While she can laugh, poor little maid,
Why should you ever sigh?"
