probable that the road will be extended

BEAUTY.

She seemed goodness from the blest
Descended, with Il raven cloud
Of fringlets falling DER breast
Their richness could but half enshfoud.
Her robe was woven OF the light,
Thro' which her form so sweetiy shonc;
That all was beautiful and bright
As soft cloud upon the moon.
Her bosom seemed like snow unprest,
Just newly fallen on the mead,
The vestment ore her swelling breast
Seemed proud of what it scarcely hid.
Her lips were like the buds of Spring
Just burst apart their sweets to show.
Her checks like opening flowers that bring
A more subducd but swceter glow.
Her brow, ah. what was like her brow
Enveloped in its veiny skin,
Transparent as the Others glow,
Too pure to hide the thought within.
Her eyes, ah. what was like her eyes.
Their like to earth was never given,
They, like the srars of dewy skies,
Were fifty made to shine in Heaven
And yet twas not her eyes nor face
Alone charmed, but all combined,
Blended in one exquisite grace,
Made radiant by heavenly mind.
