THE MAID I LOVE.
The maid I love has violet eyes,
And rose-leaf lips of red,
She wears the moonshine round her neck.
The sunshine round her head ;
And she is rich in every grace,
And poor in every guile.
And crowned kings might envy me
The splendor of her smile.
She walks the earth with such a grace .
The lilies turn to look, "
And waves rise up to catch a glance,
And stir the quiet brook ; '
Nor ever will they rest again,
But chatter as they flow, '
And babble of her crimson lips
And of her breast of snow.
And e'en the leaves upon the trees
Are whispering tales of her.
And tattle till they grow so warm
That, in the general stir,
They twist them from the mother-branch,
And through the air they fly,
Till, fainting with the love they feel,
They flutter down and die,
And what is stranger still than all
The wonders of her grace,
Her mind's the only thing to match
The glories of her face.
Oh, she is Nature's paragegt
All innocent of art.
And she has promised me her hand,
And given me her heart.
And when the spring again shall flush
Our glorious southern bowers,
My love will wear a bridal veil,
A wreath of orange flowers ;
And so I care not if the sun
Should founder in the sea,
For, oh, the heaven of her love
Is light enough for me.
