Summer should wander in your voice, and Spring Gleam in your gaze, And pure thoughts ripen in your heart that bring Calm Autumn days. Yours should be winning ways that make Love live, And ne'er grow old, With ever something yet more sweet to give, Which you withhold. You should have generous hopes that can beguile Life's doubts and fears, And, ever waiting on your April smile, The gift of tears. You should be close to us as earth and sea, And yet as far As Heaven itself. In sooth, I'd have you be Just what you are.' Alfred Austin

I fain would have you very fair to see, And sweet to hear. `You should have Aphrodite's form and face, With Dian's tread; And something of Minerva's lofty grace Should crown your head. . . . . | |
