blank
All that in Nature's
Fairest to see
God, in the making,
Imaged in thee.

Blue of the mountain,
Silent and wise,
Azure of ocean,
Brightness of skies;

Soul of the violet,
The rose's hue,
Fragrance of lilies,
Sweetness of dew;

And, to conclude thee -
The fairest part -
Set his bright angel,
Love, in thy heart,

Where he sits ruling
In gentle guise,
With the sweet wisdom
Of lips and eyes.
