First Line: Over the crystal waters
Last Line: Could mirror grace like hers?
Subject(s): Grace


I.

OVER the crystal waters
She leans in careless grace,
Smiling to view within them
Her own fair happy face.

II.

The waves that glass her beauty
No tiniest ripple stirs:
What human heart thus coldly
Could mirror grace like hers?
