Mrs. Norton


Faint and forlorn … like the breath of a spirit sighing.	1
Holy as heaven a mother’s tender love.	2
An echo returned on the cold gray morn, Like the breath of a spirit sighing.	3
Soars, like a wild bird from a cypress bough, into the poets’ heaven.	4
A softness like the atmosphere of dreams.	5
Vanished like the feathery snow in summer’s running brooks.	6
