Florence Stuart Agnew - ZaunköniG - 07.05.2012 Caroline Woolmer Leakey 1827 - 1881 Großbritannien / Australien Florence Stuart Agnew WATCHING thy lovely face, I find relief From weariness and pain. Thou art to me A wreath of hope upon a cypress tree; A tear of joy upon the cheek of grief; A rose-bud, cradled in its mossy berth, Blushing into its first bright peep of morn, Unconscious all how near it hides the thorn; A dew-drop glistening on Life's parched earth; A spot of verdure on the desert wild; A sweet soft spring, new burst from mountain side, - A spring of love, when other streams are dried. But most my heart is pleased to look, dear child, On thee, as one for whom Love's flood-gates wide Drew back, and sent Him forth who for thee died! |
