Smites the heart of your King,

And your hell-hounds are flayed,—then Peace will be won!

[HEREDITY]

I see her creeping 'long the nursery floor,—

A dainty, blue-eyed Babe, scarce old enough

To realize 'tis she whom I adore,—

She is a priceless diamond in the rough.

Again I see her playing with a host

Of noisy, kindergarten girls and boys;
