| Jane Caroline Reed and David Sanders Wright |
Gods angels took a little drop of dew,
New fallen from heaven's far-off blue,
And a fair rivlet of the valley's green.
Shedding its perfumes in the morn's soft sheen
And a forget-me-not so small and bright-
Laid all together gently, out of sight,
Within the chalice of the lily white!
With humbleness and grace they covered it-
Made purity and sadness near to sit;
And added pride to this, and sighs - a few,
One wish, but half a hope, and bright tears too;
Courage and sweetness in misfortune's smart,
And out of this they moulded-Woman's heart!
Northampton, Mass. Cassell's Magazine
Dec 7, 1867
