Those eyes of bsamv blue;

Yes, hide those lips of vermil hue,
Their fragrant sweets amid;
Just like the rose beneath the dew,
More sweet-when seen halt hid
Conceal shose poiish'd chrystal teeth
Which smiling nature gave;
Like Pearls that lie the main beneath,
Seen purest through the wave.
Yes, hide thy cheeks, ike morning brlght,
And all that forehead fair;

Beyond the eyes control;
That, sacred Love alone may feel,
Its sunshine on the soul.
