Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Beauty; Hearts; Love
When will he learn to look on thee aright,
Not make of thee an idol for a day?
Enthrone thee on a far serener height,
Where spirits touch, yet mingle not with clay?
Thy beauty then will meet a purer ray,
And in the light of never-ending Love
A true heart-union and espousal prove.
