Jslrus' Dauuhter,

The little maids twelve stainless years
Were past, and she was fallen on sleep
When TO her side the Master came,
Uttering strange music in her ears.
And with the touch OF new birth
That. like n fine and fragrant flame.
Through every vain swept full and deep.
Called her again to happy earth
How far in heaven her little feet
Had followed. there are none To say.
What atmosphere OF love the while
Wrapped her like sunshine warm and
sweet:
What soft wings stopped about her there,
The gracious light OF what glad smile,
What tenderness along the way
Met and caressed her everywhere
Whether she saw In rank DER rank
First venturing into heaven alone
A phalanx OF archangels shine,
Or whether on some blossom bank
a cloud OF cherubs sang and sang
One knows not. nor IL all divine
She saw; about the Great White Throne,
The rainbow like an emerald hang
Yst earth must needs be sweet 10 her
After that voice. that touch OF grace,
The heavenly peace impaired then
For her bleet hands TO minister
And still a question comes TO me
OF days ere heaven was hers again,
And which OF all her wandering race
Child OF that little maid might be.
