An Unknown Angel.

She walks unnoticed In the street:
The casual eye
Sees nothing In her fair or sweet;
The world goes by
Unconscious that an angels feet
Arc passing nigh.
She little has Of beauty's wealth;
Truth viii allow
Only her priceless youth and health,
Her broad white brow;
Yet grows she on the heart by stealth
| scarce know how.
She does thousand kindly things
That no one knows:
a loving woman's heart she brings
TO human woes,
And to her face the sunlight cings
Where'cr she goes.
And 10 she walks her quiet ways,
with that content
That only comes To sin!eEs days
And innocent:
A life devoid of fame or praise,
Yet noby spent.
