a great burning unknown people brought her to the wood
She knew no more – I was once a mother – thinking of God
I took the orphan home tho' poor myself. I had some
care – but she repaid it all. She grew up healthy, industrious
and fair. Together we labored long for our own support. We have
had the same wants & the same cares – soothing the hardship
& our common poverty with cheerful toil we sat in the chamber of a
stranger's house – without a single furrow of land soil. One heifer
two cows some sheep were all our wealth. In summer
we helped our neighbors in harvest – & gained at last
a hide of land. We sowed it with flax & spinning thro'
the winter evenings sufficed for our raiment (the remants
of our wants). There are evening sports & music at every carnival
– but these are not for her. Rings are bought for the maiden
whose barns and coffers are full. Upon Thither is An unknown orphan can be no fascination to
a young – an orphan – without parents, without dower
But as heaven affords its protection so let the will of
God be done. I trust that as long as I can struggle
against infirmity Halina will not desert me."
