It says, that, where a heart thy claim denies,

Genius shall read its secret ere it flies;

The earthly form may vanish from thy side,

Pure love will make thee still the spirit's bride.

And thou, ungentle, yet much loving child,

Whose heart still shows the "untamed haggard wild,"

A heart which justly makes the highest claim,

Too easily is checked by transient blame;

Ere such an orb can ascertain its sphere,

The ordeal must be various and severe;
