Tuer, Andrew White, 1838-1900 · London : The Leadenhall Prefs, Ltd. · leaf 213
Languid and pale her mother lies,She speaks not, but her speaking eyesIn language plain, express the pleasureShe feels, in having such a treasure ;A daughter, who in early days.Maternal tenderness repays. 19: 13 THE ELEGANT GIRL. … To innocence what charms belong.The dance dehghtful as the song,Whilst bounding light on agile feetHer steps the measured cadence meet;With pleasure beams the Mothers eyeAs oer the strings her fingers fly. 194 THE ELEGANT GIRL.
