Wore no dark frown—but smiled—she smiled on me!

Her white brows shone amid her darkest hair,

Like that moon's beams amid the opening gloom:

And her slight, delicate shape would shame the limbs

Of fairies tripping on the moonlit green.

And she did smile on me—that Glorious Beauty!

And I stood there, and clasped her lily hands!

And I did peer into her lustrous eyes!

And they gave back my ardent gaze of love!

She spake—the tremulous accents of her voice
