Light as clear as that which fills eternity.	1
Her eyes were like a heaven, where sunlight always glows.	2
Frail as a flake of snow.	3
Holy as bowers where angels have flown.	4
Meet and mingle like human fear and hope.	5
Pure as thoughts that thrill a saint.	6
Sad as tears to the eyes that are bright.	7
Sleeps like a dream in a grave.	8
Soft as the gleam after sunset That hangs like a halo of grace Where the daylight had died in the valley.	9
Spotless as a lily’s leaf.	10
Still as the gleam of a star through the dark.	11
Sweet as smiles to the lips that are pale.	12
Sweet as the dew-drops that fall on the roses in May.	13
Sweet as the Summer’s birds.	14
Wings as white as a dream of snow in love and light.	15
