79 Her reading and love of poetry, prob- ably, led Marion to attempt clothing her own thoughts in a kind of poetic dress. This she began to do. Sometimes, at the table, she would utter one or two lines, and then, covering her face, would say, '* John is laughing at me." This she could not endure. Very fre- quently the other children would say to us, '^Hark! hark! hear Marion's rhymes." Some of these are still remembered; and, to show the operations of her mind, and the mental efforts she was pu...tting forth during the last month of her life, we give you an example or two. Marion, at times, anticipated the return of summer, when she could go out and gather flowers, and wished that the win- ter was over, asking how long before the UKju;zeauy Google 80 BSCOLLECTIONS. Spfing and the birds would come. Oa one of these occasions, she said, «By and by the Spring will come, And flowen again will bloom^ — To the woods and fields FU mn, And gather flowers till noon." The following was addressed to her doll : "My darling little Miss, How good youVe been to-day; I'll give you a sweet good kiss, And lay yon snng away." Reference has been made to the strong attachment Marion felt towards those lit- tle girls who were her companions at school ; and to be separated so much from their society as she necessarily was in winter, was a painful sacrifice to her feelings.
