A LADY'S BEAUTY by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LADYE, THY WHITE BROW IS FAIR
Last Line: ON THY LIP, AND IN THINE EYES.
Subject(s): BEAUTY;
LADYE, thy white brow is fair,
Beauty's morning light is there;
And thine eye is like a star,
Dark as those of midnight are:
Round thee satin robe is flung;
Pearls upon thy neck are hung:
Yet thou wearest silk and gem,
As thou hadst forgotten them.
Lovelier is the ray that lies
On thy lip, and in thine eyes.
