ONLY A CHILD.
Just a picture of somebody's childSweet .ftce set in golden hair, Violet eyes and cheeks of rose, , Rounded chin with a dimple there; Tender eyes where the shadows Bleep, Lit from within with a secret ray, Tender eyes that will shine like stars, When love and. womanhood ' come this way; Scarlet lips with a story to tell— • Blessed be .he who will find it out! Who shall learn the eyes' deep secret will And read the heart without "a doubt. Then you willtremble, scarlet lips; Then yen will crimson, loveliest cheeks ;_ ~~, Eyes will brighten and, blushes, burn. —. - .-"' .. When once the—triro-4<msr7*TSends and . speaks.
