No sense had she of change, or loss of thought,

With those around her no communion sought;

Scarce knew she of her being. Fancy wild

Had placed her in her father’s house a child;

It was her mother sang her to her rest;

The lark awoke her, springing from his nest;

The bees sang cheerily the live long day,

Lurking ’mid flowers wherever she did play;

The Sabbath bells rang as in years gone by,

Swelling and falling on the soft wind’s sigh;
