So beautiful, so purely wrought,

Like a fair missal penned with hymns,

So gentle, so surpassing thought--

A beauteous soul in lovely limbs,

A lantern that an angel trims.

So simple-sweet, without a sin,

Like gentle music gently timed,

Like rhyme-words coming aptly in,

To round a moonéd poem rhymed

To tunes the laughing bells have chimed.
