The odorous balm must mingle its fair flow'rs, With the bland beauty of the sweet wild rose; Child of the desert, of those hidden bow'rs Which fragrant zephyrs to the sense disclose; Such forms as these shall clothe her deep repose With living loveliness--Now may her son Respond to that mysterious fire that glows So deep within him, prompting his spirit on To that great work of love he feels must yet be done.
