There is a form love full well,
A female form of perfect grace;
"A form where nobest virtue dwells,
And beauty leaves its brightest trace.
There is a face, whose features seem
So deeply craven on my heart,
lis like the image Of dream,
That fingers when my dreams depart.
There is an eye, whose glances bright
Have oft in wandering met mine own;
But like the sun, their brilliant light
On other eyes as bright hath shown.
There is voice, whose music falls
Like loves first whispering on my ear;
Its tone nv foolish heart enthralls,
But still that voice like to hear.
But, ah! that form ne'er be mine,
That face fairer face will meet.
That eye on brighter eyes will shine,
That roice will seek voice as sweet. o.
