She was phantom OF delight
When first she cleaned upon my sight,
A lovely spparition, sent
To be a moments ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;
Like Twilisht's, too, her dusky hair,
But all things else above her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful dawn
a dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle and waylay.
saw her upon nearer view,
A spirit yet woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps Of virgin-Eberty;
A eountenGnce in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles
Praise blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles.
And now see the eye serene,
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate WILL
Endurance, foresight, strength and skill,
A perfect woman, nobly pl AIMED
To warn, to comfort and command;
And yet a spirit still, and bright,
With something of an anse-hsht.
