Her eyes are like the evening air, / Her voice is like a rose, / Her lips are like a lovely song, / That ripples as it flows, / And she herself is sweeter than / The sweetest thing she knows.
A slender, haunting, twilight form / Of wonder and surprise, / She seemed a fairy or a child, / Till, deep within her eyes, / I saw the homeward-leading star / Of womanhood arise.
