On a Picture of Lillie - ZaunköniG - 26.05.2007 On a Picture of Lillie A truthful page is childhood’s lovely face, Whereon sweet Innocence has record made, - An outward semblance of the young heart’s grace, Where truth, and love, and trust are all portrayed. O blessed childhood! Like the wakening day, The auroral flash bespeaks thy rising sun, And spreads a roseate tint about thy way, And Hope’s gay blossoms open one by one. Sweet Lillie! As I gaze upon thy brow, I feel my heart expanding into prayer, That happiness may e’er maintain as now The truthfull seeming it exhibits there; May after life no bitterness impart, But lie, as now, like sunshine round thy heart! |
