Song, ex improviso [483:2]

Linenotes:

Title] lines written . . . daughter of the late Minister to England. Athenaeum 1884.

On Hearing a Song in Praise of a Lady's Beauty

'Tis not the lily-brow I prize,
Nor roseate cheeks, nor sunny eyes,
Enough of lilies and of roses!
A thousand-fold more dear to me
The gentle look that Love discloses,—
The look that Love alone can see!

Keepsake, 1830.
