Winsome, fairy, darling child! Pure of heart and undefiled, With the rings of sunny hair Lying on thy forehead fair, Like the light we see in dreams, Resting on enchanted streams. Visions of thy future years, Shadows from their loves and fears, Rest upon my trembling soul, As thou near'st the shining goal, Where the woman and the child Blend in girlhood sweet and mild. Many a streamlet fair and blue, Many a flower of radiant hue, Many a magic mountain green, Many a broad field, lies between Now and then, sweet child, to thee, Loulie and her destiny. Many a love-dream sweet and fair, Many a rosary of prayer, Many a broken link and chain, Rent apart with throbs of pain (On the road which thou shalt pass) Gleam like stoles at midnight mass!
Darling, fairy, sweet Loulie! Let the future's mystery Bring no heritage of care To that brow, so young and fair; For the angels sentry keep O'er thy soul's enchanted sleep.
