In health of body, peace of mind.

Steal from the world and not a stone

MODESTY.
from the trodden ways of earth
Seem some sweet souls who veil their
worth
And offer to tho careless glance
Tho clouding grave of circumstance,
They blossom best where hearth fires
burn.
To loving eyes alone they turn
Tho flowers of Inward graco that hide
Their beauty from the world outside.

After a short tlmo she met William
