And oh, her sweet voice ! It was caught From some bright angel ere her birth : And every time she sang, it brought Its native heaven down to earth.
When I was settled for the night, Out of my bed I used to creep, And say I couldn't start just right Unless she san...g me off to sleep.
ELSIE AND OTHER POEMS. 53 When angels, through the moonlight clear, Came floating by on snow-white wing, They used to stop and hover near, To hear my dear old mother sing.

She will not sing when folks are by ; Only to me when we're alone.
Then, when she breathes those old songs o'er, Soft to my heart of hearts they creep ; 54 ELSIE AND OTHER POEMS.
