Poems of Home: IV. Youth

Sweet stream, that winds through yonder glade,
Apt emblem of a virtuous maid,–
Silent and chaste she steals along,
Far from the world’s gay, busy throng;
With gentle yet prevailing force,
Intent upon her destined course;
Graceful and useful all she does,
Blessing and blest where’er she goes;
Pure-bosomed as that watery glass,
And Heaven reflected in her face.
