THIS brief effusion I indite, And my vast wishes send, That thou mayst be directed right, And have ere long within thy sight A most @3enchanting@1 friend! The @3maiden@1 should have @3lovely face@1, And be of @3genteel mien@1; If not, within thy dwelling place, There may be vestige of disgrace, Not much admired—when seen. Nor will thy dearest be complete Without @3domestic@1 care; If otherwise, howe'er discreet, Thine eyes will very often meet What none desire to share! And further still—thy future @3dear@1, Should have some @3mental@1 ray; If not, thou mayest drop a tear, Because no @3real sense@1 is there To charm life's dreary day! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DISAPPOINTED by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR FIREFLY; A SONG by ELIZABETH MADOX ROBERTS AMORETTI: 75 by EDMUND SPENSER ANOTHER REAPER by WILLIAM H.
