MIMMA BELLA.
K«ep not the sunshine from our Minima's grave, Nor screen her memory from the sweet fresh air,; Speak of her still as if she still were here ; Let thought and word around her freely wave, jive her back now the little smile she gave; Nor treat her thought as one too sharp to bear, But as a thing for ever sweet and fair, That ye would fain from shade and silence save, 0 ye, who stopped and gazed iatc her face, And knew her for the dainty babe she was, Fear not to pain us, uttering her name ; Nor fear to cast the sunlight on the place Where memory keeps the sweetest thing it has As fresh as on the day on which sht came. —Eugene Lee Hamilton.
