I love thee for the gifts of mind
With which they tell me thou’rt endow’d;
And for thy graceful manners—kind,
And gently frank, and meekly proud!
And for thy warm and gushing heart,
And soul, all void of guileful art,
And lofty intellect, well stored
With learning’s rich and varied hoard;
For gifts like these (gifts all thine own)
I love thee!—BEAUTIFUL UNKNOWN!
