FASCINATION. 



Enchanting Lunaria here lies, 

 In sorceries excelling. 



Drayton. 



SENTIMENT. 



She 's beautiful! Her raven curls 

 Have broken hearts in envious girls; 

 And then they sleep in contrast so, 

 Like raven feathers upon snow, 

 And bathe her neck and shade the bright 

 Dark eye from which they catch the light, 

 As if their graceful loops were made 

 To keep that glorious eye in shade, 

 And holier make its tranquil spell, 

 Like waters in a shaded well. 

 She 's noble noble, one to keep 

 Embalmed for dreams of fevered sleep. 

 An eye for nature taste refined, 

 Perception swift and balanced mind, 

 And, more than all, a gift of thought 

 To such a spirit fineness wrought, 

 That on my ear her language fell 

 As if each word dissolved a spell. 



Wtilu.
