Nature! thy grandeur awes the ignoblest mind,
But half thy charms were inarticulate,
Soulless, till Woman's grace thy grace enshrined.
She first in Man soft pity did create
And tenderness for all things, small and great.
Through her awakening, Man hath learnt to share
The bright perceptions which first dwelt in her!
