OH! HAD SHE BEEN A LOWLY MAID.
I
Oh! had she been a lowly maidThat stole this heart of mine,
She would have filled the humblest shade
With radiance divine:—
The moon of beauty's starry skies,
She glides serenely fair,
Absorbing in her gleaming eyes
The brightest planet there.
II
Oh! were she but a flower of springUpon the dewy lea,
87
My heart's delight would be;
And when its leaves began to fade,
Their fading I would moan;
And treasure up the sacred dust
To mingle with my own.
