TO A FAIR LADY.

FAIR Lady, you were clad in white
When first your gentle eyes I met,
And never shall my heart forget
The vision of that August night.
With the pale moon's transcendent light,
You shone, in your clear heaven set;
Fair Lady, you were clad in white
When first your gentle eyes I met.
Bend, Moon of Women, from your height,
Soothe with your smile earth's care and fret,
Let us be happy in your debt,
Since you Love's varied charms unite;
Your soul and you were clad in white
When first your gentle eyes I met.
