The humid azure of her virgin dream,

Spanned from the realms above

By an all-dazzling Iris! thought—trust—theme—

Life-consecration—Love!

Come with me to the rustic paths and see

A mute scene eloquent;

That rude cot, reared where the daisied lea

Is with the mountain blent.

A form of lovely womanhood which bends

O’er a much daintier thing—
