SWEET SIXTEEN, by                    
First Line: Her voice - like rich and mellow notes
Last Line: What must the blossom be?
Subject(s): Beauty


HER voice -- like rich and mellow notes
Of thrush, in woodland glades,
That fall upon the listener's ear,
As evening twilight fades.

Her laughter -- like the merry brook
That flows o'er mossy stones,
And bubbles forth its careless mirth
In soft and silver tones.

Her beauty -- like the budding rose,
With tints as fair to see;
A beauty perfect in the bud, --
What must the blossom be?
