'O little hands and feet! O Heart of mine!
Why linger listless in thy father's hail?
Why tarriest thou in that far home of thine,
Unwitting that I love thee all in all?
Hast never on the midnight heard my call?
What tho' mine eyes have never own'd thee fair,
Thy heart is mine, and Beauty dwelleth there!
