Her beauty deepen'd, like a cobalt sky
When of an autumn eve the moon breaks through
And cleaving the piled cloudrack racing by
Suffuses all the heavens with lustre new;
And, like the Queen of Night enthroned on high,
All lesser beauties waned before her view;
While the thick coils of her dark braided hair
Show'd her pale face more delicately fair.
