AD ASTRA: 35 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: O NATURE, THO' THY BEAUTY NEVER WANES
Last Line: AND ALL THE STINGS OF DOUBT AT LAST REMOVE.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE - NATURE OF; MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS; MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;

O Nature, tho' thy beauty never wanes,
And every hour sets forth some new device
To captivate Man's heart, and hold in chains
His fond imagination—still thou art ice
To his affection, like a maid's caprice!
But never, like a maid, dost give thy love,
And all the stings of doubt at last remove.
