ANNE AND EDWARD.
PART II.
Bright shines the sun, the gentle breeze
In soften'd murmurs blows,
And softly through the verdant mead,
The little streamlet flows.
Close by yon fragrant violet bank,
Beneath the spreading thorn,
His mother's stool and cushion'd chair
Are by young Edward borne.
And from the lowly cottage door,
With feeble steps and slow,
Anna supports her mother's frame,
As to the bank they go.
There, seated on her pillow'd chair,
She breathes the balmy breeze,
Whilst Anne and Edward quietly
Are seated at her knees.
