CXXVII.
[From leaves unopen'd yet, those eyes she lifts]
From leaves unopen'd yet, those eyes she lifts,Which never youthful eyes could safely view.
“A book or flower, such are the only gifts
I like to take, nor like them least from you.”
A voice so sweet it needs no music's aid
Spake it, and ceast: we, offering both, reply:
These tell the dull old tale that bloom must fade,
This the bright truth that genius can not die.
