TO MISS ISABELLA PERCY by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF THAT OLD HERMIT LAID TO REST
Last Line: PERHAPS YOUR BEAUTY PAIN.

If that old hermit laid to rest
Beneath your chapel-floor,
Could leave the regions of the blest
And visit earth once more:
If human sympathies could warm
His tranquil breast again,
Your innocence that breast could charm,
Perhaps your beauty pain.
