The Southern Belle.

Who can describe the Southern belle,
Or even half her glory tell,
When rhyme and reason go pell-me!l
In floods of strong emotions?
While gazing in her wondrous eyes,
Where all the tempting lustre lies,
You get confused in sweet surprise
And wander in your notions.
Such sweet enchantment in her style,
With every movement queenly; while
The Southern sunshine in her smile
Impels to alteration!
Her voice is music soft and clear,
Her dialect so charms the ear,
That angels pause when they come near
To catch her conversation.

Looms but the horror of the shade,
