noon
There was deep affection in the warm tears that fell upon the bride 's cheek , as poor Ann felt that she had indeed gone to bless another with her tender goodness . Christine 's warm heart grew yet more sunny in her own happy little home , and her feelings more open and expansive , beneath the genial influence of friendly eyes . TWILIGHT . -- The dewy morning of childhood has passed , and the noon of youth has gone , and the gloom of twilight is gathering over my spirit . Alas ! alas ! how my heart sinks in a wan despair !
