COUNTERCHANGE.
She who is mine, and whom I hold not nowAs other than myself, so large a vow
Was on me, when the treasure of her charms
At length had yielded to my suppliant arms,
And that which seem'd a vision half divine—
She who is mine—
Had own'd itself a woman, and for me:
In that fair added soul, my soul can see
How Love, Truth, Purity, are only She—
She who is mine.
