The following is of especial interest:—
The Wedding Veil.
Dear Anna, when I brought her veil—
Her white veil on her wedding night—
Threw o'er my thin brown hair its folds,
And, laughing, turned me to the light.
"See, Bessie, see! you wear at last
The bridal veil, foresworn for years!"
She saw my face—her laugh was hushed,
Her happy eyes were filled with tears.
