Psycae, bsf6re the Tribunal Of Tssns
Lift up thine eyes, sweet Psyche, What is she,
That those soft fringes tipiidly should fall
Before her, and thy spiritual brow
Be shadowcd as her presence wero n cloud
Asiofticr gift is thine than she can give,
Thai queen Of beauty. She may mouldtbc brow
40 pcriectness, and give unto the form
beautiful proportion; she may stain
The eye with celestial blue---the cheek
With carmine Of tho sunset; she may breathe
Grace into every motion, like the play
Of the least visible tissue of cloud:
She may give uli that is within nor own
Bright cestus-and one silent look of thine,
Like strong magic, will outcharm it all.
Ay, for the soul is better than it's frame.
The spirit than its temple. What's the brow
Or the eyes iustre, or the step of uir,
Or colour, but the beautiful links that chain
The mind from It's rare element, There lies
a tailsman IN intellect, which yields
Celestial music, when the master-h hind
Touches it cunningly Ii sleeps beneath
The outward semblance, and TO common sight
lie on invisible and hidden thing;
But when the lip is faded, and the check
Robbed ofits daintiness, and when the form
Matches the sense no more, and human love
Faiters in its idolatry,-- this spell
Withhold its strength unbroken, and 20 on
Stealing anew the affections.
Marvel not,
hat Love lcans sadly on his Bonded bow:
lie hath found out the loneliness of mind
And he is spoilt for beauty. So Z will be
Ever-the glory of the human form
Is out perishlng thing. and Love will droop
When ITS brief grace hath faded. But the MIND
perish"tl' not; and when the outward charm
hath had It's brief existence. it awakcs,
And lis the lovclier that il silent so long
Like wells that, by the wasting of their flow
lave had their deeper Fountains broken up.
