"There be none of Beauty's daughters"
THERE be none of Beauty's daughters With a magic like thee; And like music on the waters Is thy sweet voice to me: When as if its sound were causing The charmed ocean's pausing The waves lie still and gleaming And the lull'd winds seem dreaming: And the midnight moon is weaving Her bright chain o'er the deep Whose breast is gently heaving As an infant's asleep: So the spirit bows before thee To listen and adore thee; With a full but soft emotion Like the swell of summer's ocean. |
