Page 72 - WHO is she that with graceful steps, and with a lively air, trips over yonder plain ? The rose blushes on her cheeks ; the sweetness of the morning breathes from her lips ; joy, tempered with innocence and modesty, sparkles in her eyes ; and the cheerfulness of her heart appears in all her movements.
