First Line: Since there is magic in your look
Last Line: Read by the music of her tongue.
Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Praise


SINCE there is magic in your look,
And in your voice a witching charm,
As all our hearts consenting tell,
Enchantress! smile upon my book,
And guard its lays from hate and harm
By Beauty's most resistless spell.

The sunny dew-drop of thy praise,
Young day-star of the rising time,
Shall with its odoriferous morn
Refresh my sere and withered bays.
Smile, and I will believe my rhyme
Shall please the beautiful unborn.

Go forth, my pictured thoughts, and rise
In traits and tints of sweeter tone,
When Julia's glance is o'er ye flung;
Glow, gladden, linger in her eyes,
And catch a magic not your own,
Read by the music of her tongue.
