The Smitten Dove.

1t was In the gladstone spring time
When Nature from her sleep
Had sprung to life In glorious robes
The Eastertide to keep.
The Jonquils with their golden bells
Were ringing out anew.
And all the royal race OF flowers
Was rushing into view.
The violets, those purple gems,
Had risen from their bed
The lily, the Easter flower,
Had reared it's stately head.
The birds the airy winged choir.
Were singing songs of love,
And uttering praises from their hearts
To Him who rules above.
Amid the Joy of the new-crowned year
A young and fragile dove
Whom heaven had sent to bless the
world
With beauty and with love
Was smitten as an early flower
Is blighted at it's birth;
In beauty and In youth she died,
Too pure and frail for earth
Her spirit hovers In the air,
/ feel its gentle power:
Her voice comes whispering on the
breeze,
l hear 1t every hour.
