So light her step, so frank with all good-will.

Let her be child, or girl, or maid, or woman—

I know not what she is. Alone I know

She moves o'er earth like creature more than human,

Missioned from God to spread his peace below.

VI.

When, travel-worn, on thee I chance to muse,

Breeze-like the fragrance comes across my heart

Of spring-flowers breathing sweetness through their dews;

So blissful and so bountiful thou art.
