Her mother, Elfie older grown, / One evening, for adieu, / Said, "You'll not mind being left alone, / For God takes care of you!"
In child-way her heart's eye did see / The correlation's node: / "Yes," she said, "God takes care o' me, / An' I take care o' God."
The child and woman were the same, / She changed not, only grew; / 'Twixt God and her no shadow came: / The true is always true!
As daughter, sister, promised wife, / Her heart with love did brim: / Now, sure, it brims as full of life, / Hid fourteen years in him!
