And to her father's rapturous eyes,

She shone a rainbow—whose bright dyes

Illumed his aged spirit's night;

A thing of loveliness and light.

And in and out the Inca's hall

She went, returned to his known call.

She seemed a sunbeam sent from heaven,

To make his troubled spirit even;

For, if his soul, oppressed with grief,

In aught of earthly, sought relief;
