TO woMAN's MOUTH.
Tell me not a woman's radiant eyes
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 teInpests that may reign,
But chiseled sadness viii abide
On the face of one who tathOms pain.
Speech should be divine
| From mouth so sad, so sad as thine
AhI as night intenser dark doth show
After fishing of the lightnings red,
, Smiles that cover majestic woe
Sadder are than widest tears were she'd
Speech should be divine
+ From a mouth so sweet and sad as thine
