Jasminum. 
Language — AMIABILITY. 
The blessings of her quiet life 
Fell on us like the dew ; 
And good thoughts, where her footstep pressed, 
Like fairy blossoms grew. 
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds 
Were in her very look ; 
We read her face as one who reads 
A true and holy book. 
The pleasure of a blessed hymn 
To which our hearts could move, 
The breathing of an inward psalm, 
A canticle of love.

And we talked—O, how we talked! her voice, so cadenced 
in the talking, 
Made another singing — of the soul! a music without 
bars — 
While the leafy sounds of woodlands, humming round 
where we were walking, 
Brought interposition worthy — sweet — as skies about 
the stars, 
And she spake such good thoughts natural, as if she al¬ 
ways thought them.
