They lifted the veil from Eudora’s face—

It smiled out softly in pensive grace,

With lips of love, and a brow serene,

Meet for the soul of the deep wood-scene.

Bring wine, bring odours!—the board is spread;

Bring roses! a chaplet for every head!

The wine-cups foam’d, and the rose was shower’d

On the young and fair from the world embower’d;

The sun look’d not on them in that sweet shade,

The winds amid scented boughs were laid;
