The merry heart. the merry heart,
OF Heavens gifts hold the best,
And they that feel ils pleasan thFoh,
Thoughdark their lot, are truly blest.
From youth to age Il changes not,
In 10Y and sorrow still the same;
When skies are datk and tempests
scowl
II shines a steady beacon flame.
II gives 20 beauty half lie power,
The nameless charms work all tho
rest;
The light that dances DER the face,
And speaks OF sunshine Ia The breast
II beauty Meier had SET her seal.
IL supplies her absence too
Aud many q cheek looks passing fair
Because amerry heart shines through.
