Hester

When maidens such as Hester die

Their place ye may not well supply,

Though ye among a thousand try

With vain endeavour.

A month or more hath she been dead,

Yet ot I by force be led

To think upon the wormy bed

Aogether.

A springy motion in her gait,

A rising step, did indicate

Of pride and joy no on rate,

That flushd her spirit:

I know not by what name beside

I shall it call: if twas not pride,

It was a joy to that allied,

She did i.

Her parents held the Quaker rule,

Which doth the human feeling cool;

But she was traind in Natures school;

Nature had blest her.

A waking eye, a prying mind;

A heart that stirs, is hard to bind;

A hawks keen sight ye ot blind;

Ye could not Hester.

My sprightly neighbone before

To that unknown and silent shore,

Shall we not meet, as heretofore,

Some summer m;

When from thy cheerful eyes a ray

Hath struck a bliss upon the day,

A bliss that would not go away,

A sweet forewarning?
