Her hair was black as a raven’s wings,
Her cheek the tulip’s hue did wear,
Her voice was soft as when night winds sing,
Her brow was as a moonbeam fair;
Her sire had joined the wake of war;-
The battle-shock, the shout, and scar
He knew, and gained a glorious grave-
Such is the guerdon of the brave!-
Her anguished mother’s suffering heart
Could not endure a widow’s part;
She sunk beneath her soul’s distress,
And left her infant parentless.-
She hath no friend on this cold, bleak earth,
To give her a shelter, a home, and a hearth;
Through life’s dreary desert alone she must wend,
For alas! the wretched have never a friend!
And should she stray from virtue’s way,
The world will scorn, and its scorn can slay.
Ah! Shame hath enough to wring the breast
With a weight of sorrow and guilt oppresed;
But Oh! ’tis coldly cruel to wound
The bosom whose blood must gush unbound.
No tear is so bright as the tear that flows
For erring woman’s unpitied woes;
And blest be for ever his honoured name
Who shelters an orphan from sorrow and shame!
Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
One thing I would like to say is car insurance cancellation is a dreadful experience so if you’re doing the appropriate things like a driver you’ll not get one. Some people do have the notice that they are officially dropped by their particular insurance company and many have to fight to get further insurance from a cancellation. Low cost auto insurance rates are usually hard to get after a cancellation. Knowing the main reasons with regard to auto insurance cancellations can help drivers prevent losing one of the most important privileges accessible. Thanks for the concepts shared through your blog.
