The white wherein my lady goes,
High heels that lift her lips to mine,
And eyelets with a silver shine
Fall not malignant evening dews,
Lest you should wet my lady's shoes.
oh, purple grape-leaf on her head,
In silken benediction spread,
With wreaths and ribbons, knotted curled,
The colors OF magic world
Oh weep not, summer rain, upon 1t,
Lest you should soil my lady's bonnet.
Oh, nameless art, thatHmakes her slim,
Laces in which her shoulders swim,
The daring graces that combine
The "Grecian Bends" delirous line
Leaves. shun her as you rustic down,
Lest you derange my lady's gown.
Complexest wonder of the time,
Inspirer of my feIYid rhyme,
What odds and ends make up the show,
The gracious lady that l know! 9gs
