Marjorie.

Light as the feather on thy hat,
Thy airy smiles beguile me,
The sweetest stream from neCtars vat
Could touch but to denle thee.
For love is sparkling in thine orb
Like starry passions cleaning
In skies that every hue absorb
That in that orb lies dreaming.
Thy face, o! heaven, II is n sight
To set the gods athnkng!
What ecstaCy could hold the light
To lips that, to thee drinking.
Must faint with rapture in the draught,
And, wet with blissful longing,
Would hide their blush in subtle craft
From cupids round thee thronglng?
IT'S heavens own guerdon that tn!
charms
Hold lightly still above us;
'Tis love indeed could hope To storm
Those heights that madly move us.
