First Line: O nature, tho' thy beauty never wanes
Last Line: And all the stings of doubt at last remove.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love - Nature Of; Man-woman Relationships; Male-female Relations
O Nature, tho' thy beauty never wanes,
And every hour sets forth some new device
To captivate Man's heart, and hold in chains
His fond imagination—still thou art ice
To his affection, like a maid's caprice!
But never, like a maid, dost give thy love,
And all the stings of doubt at last remove.
