The Wedding Veil.
Tbavbllerb in Japan describe the Japanese m&iden's wedding veil fts a long, flowing piece of gauze white and soft in textare. It is used bat twice— first for a bridal veil and again whon It serves as a winding sheet. Weave ye the veil, 0 maidens : sing and weave 1 Let yonr swift shuttles fly ! Nor may one nimble finger dare to leave A flaw within the ply ; Like her pure life, the web must not receive Or faintest strain or dye. Weave ye the veil, 0 maidens ! weave and sing! Let strain b of joy arise I In chorns chant the hymeneal ring, Let all the glad surprise— The shy, sweet joy to see so fair a thing — Well up within her eyes.
