XLI.

Now in the mazy dance her form
Is circled by his arms;
Now some responsive smile gives birth
To captious love's alarms;
Or, turned on him a moment,
A thrilling glance conveys
A world of meaning, and all sense
Of jealousy allays—
A glance whose rapid eloquence
Outstrips the speed of thought,
The electric current of the soul
By kindred spirit caught.
