THE HEART.
ADDRESSED TO MISS ——.
“A lady asks the Minstrel’s rhyme.”
The Minstrel hears—for his the prime
When words are sweet as sweet bells’ chime,
If Beauty calls;
And Love keeps sentry for the time,
In Faery halls.
And Love peeps o’er the Minstrel’s shoulder—
Love makes the Minstrel’s spirit bolder—
