I fo CiM rof Jesoi Lily-ipo Ueas white, Fair and nnblamiahed as the rirgin toow, Fall moon that shines upon our earthlj oift Dethroning darkness hj thj silverjilow, The hnmble labor of mj unskilled mind With fear and trembling I present to thee; The gift regard not, Ladj, beauteous, kind, But the intentions of the writer see. I am fhj daughter. Mother dearest, bless d. The fragile object of thj tender care; In grief or gladness, in ezhausti m, rest Hy sweet Protectress, thou art always near. Take then mj ol Pring, Tirgin chastely meek. And Tiew my eilbrts with indulgent eye: Oh, hear the Toice of fond aflbction speak. The words of gratitude ascend on high. I would Implore thee, olire-wreathed Queen, To lore to cherish those who kindly led Iffy timid footsteps to the Muses stream, And oer me Learning spriceless mantle qpread. My friends and comrades, silrer Star of Ere niume and sheltnr neath thy fosfring ray; Their gentle soother be thou when they griere. And in joys season light their summer way. Let thy remembrance nerer leave our hearts, Pure, guiding Beacon through this stormy sea, And when the vital breath of life departs, .O ur Jeans, Mother, well adore with thee. EXERALDA.
