But to the mind no beauty nature brings, 



As when, in mingled fervency of loves 



Unbought, spontaneous, chaste, pulsate 



Two guileless hearts in soft communion ; 



And mind and feature to each other lend beauty 



expressive. 



Dependent, trusting with a firm esteem 

 That makes their faith inviolate, 

 Each owns the cherished bondage, as Love, 

 From heart expanding, clarifies each soul 

 From earthly dross for higher holiness.
