XXXIX. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.

SONNET TO SIR J. REYNOLDS.

Reynolds, thou art alive in children yet—
Where'er their smiles are gay, their tresses bright,
Where'er the young eyes glance, the feet trip light,
Thine all-presaging skill its stamp hath set.
On little Alice late one morn I gazed,
Darling of many hearts, half risen from sleep:
The long loose locks, the moist full eyes set deep
In chisell'd shade: translucent hands upraised
From sleep-flush'd cheeks the wavy stream to part:
Coralline lips, and curved in wakening glee:—
I sigh'd to think thou wert not there to see
The gracious incarnation of thine art:—
—So this faint sketch upon thy shrine I place,
Pleased thy suggestion with thy name to grace.
