And then I reckon I was nigh to perfect

How that little girl's woe fingors our hearts
together drew !
Once wo watched it through a lover, and
with ouch gasping breath,
Dumb with au awful, wordless woe, we
waited for its death ;
And though I'm not a pious nuul, our souls

For I IelLVe11 to spare 000 darling, went up
in Voiceless prayer.
And when the doctor said 'twould live, our
