Yet there was something in her eyes So sweet, so calm, so heavenly wise, Unfathom'd in its depth it seem'd : A ceaseless fount of joy, it gleam'd Mysterious as the stars and free From shadows as a sunlit sea, Forever flashing, and the while Lit up with an eternal smile. Her wondrous wealth of golden hair Was lit with sunshine here and there. Her glowing face in rosy youth Breath'd innocence and trustful truth. Upon her forehead, broad and bare, The calmness of the summer air Seem'd resting as i...n perfect peace; There mortal passions seemed to cease 165 166 THE DEESIDE LASS. Their restless fires, and, shining there, The mind dwelt as a maiden's prayer, All pure in cloudless innocence, All strong in keen intelligence. What though her shapely arm and hand By toil 'neath summer suns were tann'd; What though her rustic, homely dress Showed labor's honest humbleness; There dwelt about her noble form The grace that grows in wind and storm, And gathers strength from ev'ry blast, Till fixed in stately form at last It standeth like the waving pine, Serenely in the calm sunshine, Serenely when the tempests lower It stands in beauty and in power.
