FOR THE FAIR MISS M. M. MCL(EAN) by GEORGE MOSES HORTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: MAY THIS INSPIRED ACROSTIC PROVE
Last Line: MR. TORENCE

May this inspired acrostic prove
A perfect token of my love
Return thy torch allmost expired
Yet find by whom thou art admired

My soul of love would fly to thee
Constrained thy winning form to see

Like pan whose destiny was grief
Exploring nature for relief
And sure when thee my love has found
Nought else in life can heal the wound

When on the constelations
I cast my eyes afar
Than I can tell
My bonny belle
The queen of every star

When I look from the mountain
On nature's lofty tower
Then I can tell
My bonny belle
The queen of every flower

When gazing from the window
On blooms both low and tall
Then I can tell
My charming belle
The fairest one of all
Mr. Torence
