For the charm with its youth will disappear;

Not on the cheek shall the dimple be,

For the harboring smile will fade and flee;

But touch thou the chin with an impress deep,

And my baby the angel’s seal shall keep.”

—J. G. Holland.

Save one who tried to hide herself, and drooped that pleasant weather.
