SIMPLE and sweet as a child Was she of the clear, blue eyes, Her spirit as sunny and mild As June with her mellowest skies; Fragile and frail was her form, Yet, oh, what a heart was hers! Was ever affection so warm? The thought of it how it stirs! The angels are not more fair In Heaven than she had been Here in the haven of care, Unstained by the soil of sin; And, oh, what a love she knew! Whose spirit had been so mild, She with eyes of blue, Simple and sweet as a child. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
