THE VEILS.
Lo I my Guardian Augel Brought two veils to me. One was bright and dazzling Bordered gorgeously. Thick and dark the other ; StraDge the contrast seemed. Yet upon the dark veil Bright the sun's rays beamed. Then my Guardian Angel Spoke in acciats mild, " Both of these are holy, Bee them now, dear child* " That one white and brilliant To earthly bride is given ; This unto the lowly Cloistered spouse of Heaven," Then I fell in reverence, Low I bent my head, And unto our Saviour Tremblingly I Baid ; " Lord thou only knowest Which is beet for me, Where Tby loved voice biddeth I will follow Thee. But oh I if Thou wilt call me To be more closely Thine, Then Jesui, dearest Jesus, Be the dark, veil mine."
