His house she entered, there to be
a light,
Shining within when all without is
night;
A guardian angel DER his life pre-
siding,
Doubling his pleasures and his cares
dividing;
Winning him back, when mingling in
the throng,
From a vain world we love- alas, too
long,
To fireside happiness and hours of
ease,
Blest with that charm, the certainty
to please;
How oft her eyes read his. her gem
tie mind
To all his wishes, all his thoughts
inclined:
Still subject-ever on the watch to
borrow
Mirth of his mirth, and sorrow of his
sorrow.
