pressing side to side, --Ah, the white bonnet that reveals the bride!By the white neckcloth, with its straitened tie, The sober hat, the Sabbath-speaking eye, Severe and smileless, he that runs may readThe stern disciple of Geneva's creedDecent and slow, behold his solemn march;Silent he enters through yon crowded arch. A livelier bearing of the outward man, The light-hued gloves, the undevout rattan, Now smartly raised or half profanely twirled, --A bright, fresh twinkle from the week-day worl...d, --Tell their plain story; yes, thine eyes beholdA cheerful Christian from the liberal fold. Down the chill street that curves in gloomiest shadeWhat marks betray yon solitary maid?The cheek's red rose that speaks of balmier air, The Celtic hue that shades her braided hair, The gilded missal in her kerchief tied, --Poor Nora, exile from Killarney's side!Sister in toil, though blanched by colder skies, That left their azure in her downcast eyes, See pallid Margaret, Labor's patient child, Scarce weaned from home, the nursling of the wild, Where white Katahdin o'er the horizon shines, And broad Penobscot dashes through the pines.
