MRS. OLIPHANT

"A springy motion in her gait,

A rising step, did indicate

Of pride and joy no common rate

That flush'd her spirit:

I know not by what name beside

I shall it call: if 'twas not pride,

It was a joy to that allied

She did inherit.


*****

She was trained in Nature's school,

Nature had blest her.

A waking eye, a prying mind,

A heart that stirs, is hard to bind:

A hawk's keen sight ye cannot blind,

Ye could not Hester."


Charles Lamb.
