a cloister now ;The nightingales exquisite music Floateth through the gloaming dim,As it were the novice singing, Ere she sleeps, her vesper hymn. SHE HAD A GRIEF TO HIDE, BY COROLLA H. CRISWELL. The lamps upon the altar shed A pale and trembling light,As through the aisle the bride was led, A maid of beauty bright;Yet white as was her bridal veil,Her gentle cheek was quite as pale—Why trembled then that lovely bride? She had a grief to hide ! Her pallid cheek—her wandering eye Betokened that her loveWas not with him who then was nigh: Though painfully she stroveTo quell the tremors of her heart,She felt in him she had no part:Yet wore her brow a look of pride— She had a grief to hide ! And they were married. None but He Who knows all secrets knewHer young hearts tearless agony— Twas hid from mortal view ;None ever deemed that summer nightAs oer them gleamed the altar light,While gazing on that gentle bride,She had a grief to hide !s NOVELTIES FOR JULY. 79 NOVELTIES FOE JULY.
