Lovely as moonlight on the summer sea,

Awoke a mystic sympathy, and called

To life renewed, the throbbings of his breast.

Her form was beautiful, her eye was bright,

And rosy blushings tinted o’er her cheek

With softest dyes. But yet the beauty there

Sprang chiefly from the spirit, whose pure light

Illumined every feature. On her brow,

Lofty and polished, intellect sat throned

In mild dominion. Modesty’s fair beams
