Thy qusenly step-thy light fair form,
The lingering music Of thy gentle voice
Thine eye, nor sad, nor yet that bids rejoice
Dark the sbon Of the gathering storm,
Yet with lustrs, 90 ssreney sweet,
Ii wins the heart, the while unconscious why,
The smile on thy hale cheek that suddenly
Plays as the lighting 5 fash the tempest greet
These arc thy charms-not beauty's malehless

Calm duty's steadfast strength If storms should

And smiles Of gentler love in days kind
Shining above US as pale, pure star,
