TO A FAIR LADY by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: FAIR LADY, YOU WERE CLAD IN WHITE
Last Line: WHEN FIRST YOUR GENTLE EYES I MET.
Subject(s): WOMEN;
FAIR Lady, you were clad in white
When first your gentle eyes I met,
And never shall my heart forget
The vision of that August night.

With the pale moon's transcendent light,
You shone, in your clear heaven set;
Fair Lady, you were clad in white
When first your gentle eyes I met.

Bend, Moon of Women, from your height,
Soothe with your smile earth's care and fret,
Let us be happy in your debt,
Since you Love's varied charms unite;
Your soul and you were clad in white
When first your gentle eyes I met.
