TO woMAN's MOUTH.
Tell me not wornan's radiant eye.
Can the marvels OF her soul betray;
For in trembling Of lip there lies
More OF passion than glance can say.
Speech should be divine
From mouth so sweet, so sweet as thine.
In the lids down dropping you may hide
Sign Of inner tempests that may reign,
But a chiseled sadness will abide
On the face OF one who iathoms pain
Speech should be divine
From mouth so sad, so sad as thine.
All! as night intenser dark doth show
After fishing Of the lightning's red,
Smiles that cover majestic woe
Sadder are than widest tears were shed,
Speech should be divine
From mouth 80 sweet and sad az thine.
