The seeming paragon;
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
A form so fair. that, like the air,
'Tis less of earth than heaven.
Her every tone is music's own,
Like those of morning birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever in her words:
The coinage of her heart are they,
And from her lips each flows
AS one may see the burdened bee
Forth issue from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her,
The measures of her hours;
Her feelings have the fragrancy,
The freshness of young flowers;
And lovely passions, changing oft,
So fill her. she appears
The image of themselves by turns
The idol of past years!
OF her bright face one glance will trace
picture on the brain,
And of her voice in echoing hearts
Sound must long remain,
But memory. such as mine of her,
So very much endears,
When death is nigh my latest sigh
Will not be life's but hers.
