MARGARET AND DORA
Margaret's beauteous. Grecian arts
Ne'er drew form completer;
Yet why, in my heart of hearts,
Hold I Dora's sweeter?
Ne'er drew form completer;
Yet why, in my heart of hearts,
Hold I Dora's sweeter?
Dora's eyes of heavenly blue
Pass all painting's reach;
Ringdoves' notes are discord to
The music of her speech.
Pass all painting's reach;
Ringdoves' notes are discord to
The music of her speech.
Artists! Margaret's smile receive,
And on canvas show it;
But for perfect worship leave
Dora to her poet.
And on canvas show it;
But for perfect worship leave
Dora to her poet.
