The common light; whose stillness charms the air,

Or seems to charm it, into like repose;

Whose silence, for the pleasure of the ear, 10

Surpasses sweetest music. There she sits

With emblematic purity attired

In a white vest, white as her marble neck

Is, and the pillar of the throat would be

But for the shadow by the drooping chin 15

Cast into that recess—the tender shade,

The shade and light, both there and every where,
