A CHRISTIAN POETESS.
ADELAIDE PROCTOR.
She stooped o'er earth's poor brink, light as a breezeThat bathes, enraptured, in clear morning seas,
And round her, like that wandering Minstrel, sent
Twofold delight—music with freshness blent:
Ere long in night her snowy wings she furled,
Waiting the sunrise of a happier world,
And God's New Song. O Spirit crystalline,
What lips shall better waft it on than thine?
