Now toward the dawn they glide with love-lock'd hands:
One dark and stately as the forest pines,
One fairer than the silver-streaming sands
When in the waning heavens the light declines.
The one the homage of all hearts commands,
The other with a softer radiance shines.
Shall the proud Rose, in widest empire set,
Rob of one charm the sweet-lip'd Violet?
