[X. A charm invests a face]
A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld,—
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.
Imperfectly beheld,—
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.
But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes, and denies,—
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.
And wishes, and denies,—
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.
