hlue; Her fare is-the i — mage O* heav'n-ly Irrve, An' her heart is leal an', true.
The innocent smile that plays on her cheek,
Is like the dawning morn;
An' the red, red blush, that across it flees,
Is sic as the rose ne'er has worn.
If it's sweet to see the flickerin' smile
Licht n|> her sparklin e'e.
It's holier far to see it dim'd
Wi' the. gashin' tear's saut hree.
Twas na for a faithless luve's fanse vows,
Nor a hrither tipo 1 the wave,
That I saw them fa' — no, they were drapt
On an aped father's grave.
Tlio? joy may dimple her bonnie mou\
An' daffin may banish care,
In nae blythsome mood, nor hoor o' bliss,
Will these een e'er glint sae fair.
