DAINTY FOOTSTEPS, by                    
First Line: Her steps fall gently, like snowflakes
Last Line: It made her heart a treasure.
Subject(s): Love


Her steps fall gently, like snowflakes,
As though she is always keeping
The quiet hushing lest she wakes
Some heavenly angel sleeping.
Her feet were anxious to obey
To meet the love within her,
She served him while in pain he lay,
No joy could ever win her.

Her tripping thus she sees and hears
A melody from every flower
Her gentleness still drys the tears
That near her pathway shower;
Accomplishing angelic tread
For love became a pleasure,
Though world knows nothing of her dead
It made her heart a treasure.
