Ah! a face of wondrous beauty! Deep, dark eyes of midnight blue,

Silken lashes lightly resting on soft cheeks of healthy hue.

Tinted ears, like dainty sea-shells, finely chiseled nose and chin;

Even teeth of gleaming whiteness in a small mouth half shut in;

Full, ripe lips—a fount of sweetness—ever pleading for a kiss.

Who could see without admiring an impassioned girl like this?


The Purity of Passion.
