    When suddenly an infantas voice, As bells of silver, soft and clear, That seemed to say, llejoice, rejoice \ Broke lightly on the ear; And from the waving grass so rich and green, AVith beaming face leaped little Evaline. Her fair and golden head she raised In wonder, and a mute surprise ; Awhile the startled children c:azed Into each other's eyes ; O'er his pale cheek a swift, faint flush was borne. Like the first glimmer of the early dawn. ThcD a quick, sudden cry of joy,— It thrilled the father's heart to hear,— Brake from the wan lips of the boy;— An angel's voice drew near. And 'mid the strains of Nature's Vesper Hymn, Breathed words of hope and comfort unto him.
