First Line: Tis not the lily-brow I prize
Last Line: The look that love alone can see!
Subject(s): Beauty


'Tis not the lily-brow I prize,
Nor roseate cheeks, nor sunny eyes,
Enough of lilies and of roses!
A thousand-fold more dear to me
The gentle look that Love discloses, --
The look that Love alone can see!
