Dinah Maria Craik (Дина Мария Крейк)
My Love Annie
SOFT of voice and light of hand As the fairest in the land-- Who can rightly understand My love Annie? Simple in her thoughts and ways, True in every word she says,-- Who shall even dare to praise My love Annie? Midst a naughty world and rude Never in ungentle mood; Never tired of being good-- My love Annie. Hundreds of the wise and great Might o'erlook her meek estate; But on her good angels wait, My love Annie. Many or few of the loves that may Shine upon her silent way,-- God will love her night and day, My love Annie.
