Thoughts while curling Carrie's hair

Sister--I twine thy glossy Locks
  As oft in days gone by 
Has times that steals with stealthy step
  Touched them to silently?

Yes longer darker now they flow
  Unlike the golden spray
That round the dimpled rosy face
  A golden cloud did stray.

Softly they steal around the cheek
  Time's touch has made so bright
The eye upraised to mine me thinks 
  Beams with a different light.

Childhood is fleeting fast away
  While girlhood steals apace
Upon thine earnest brow e'en now 
  It's downy touch I trace.
