And there are many maidens who
In fairness rival heavens sun.
Whole features are so nobly

'Tis such a blessing. o how true,
And many is the time | have
Had blessings 10 fair wonders do.
To nv lone heart TO know OF you,
I know you're real but yet II seems
And still cen as I look upon
Your face that fair with radiance

That thou art only in my dreams
For many years that Is to rise.
And though they pass know that
you'll
AS splendrous as blue Summer

Retain the fire that's in your eyes,
You're beautiful beyond compare,
And ! have seen Of beauty that
To touch. dehlc. I would not dare
And still cen more than that

And though in all you may belong
To someone else cen bodily.
