His loved one's eyes could poet ever speak,

So kind, so dewy, and so deep were hers—10

But, while he strives, the choicest phrase, too weak,

Their glad reflection in his spirit blurs;

As one may see a dream dissolve and break

Out of his grasp when he to tell it stirs,

Like that sad Dryad doomed no more to bless

The mortal who revealed her loveliness.
