Her full heart--its own interpreter--translates itself in silence on her cheek. - [Silence] I never saw an eye so bright, And yet so soft as hers; It sometimes swam in liquid light; And sometimes swam in tears; It seem'd a beauty set apart For softness and for signs. - [Eyes] 'T would take an angel from above To paint th' immortal soul. - [Soul] The love that is kept in the beauty of trust, Cannot pass like the foam from the seas, Or a mark that the finger hath trac'd in the dust, Where 't is swept by the breath of the breeze. - [Constancy] There's a charm in deliv'ry; a magical art, That thrills like a kiss from the lip to the heart; 'T is the glance--the expression--the well-chosen word-- By whose magic the depths of the spirit are stirr'd. The lips soft persuasion--its musical tone: Oh! such were the charms of that eloquent one! - [Eloquence] The purple clusters load the lilac-bushes. - Hopeless Love [Lilacs] The rosebuds lay their crimson lips together. - Hopeless Love (st. 5) [Roses] The twilight hours, like birds flew by, As lightly and as free; Ten thousand stars were in the sky, Ten thousand stars on the sea. For every wave with dimpled face That leap'd upon the air, Had caught a star in its embrace And held it trembling there. - Musing--Twilight at Sea (st. 4) [Stars] As the dew to the blossom, the bud to the bee, As the scent to the rose, are those memories to me. - Pulpit Eloquence [Memory]
