A LOCK OF HAIR
A little ringlet of golden hair, .. | ■. As, soft as the young moon's ray; 0, I treasure it still with a doting care, For, alas ! it was all that Death could Of'the wealth that ho bore away, [spare It was cull'd from a garden of sunny curlS, That blossom'(l around her head, When the cold cold dew was on her lips. And her eyes were closed in the Dark Eclipse, And her last " good night" was said. I picture her still thro' the mist of yoart, In the light of the stars above; ' And bright o'er the cloud and tho storm of tears, This ringlet of soft golden hair appear* A rainbow of hope and love. Grahamstown. 8.A.3.
