I saw thee in the beauty of thy sping,
#1
I saw thee in the beauty of thy sping,
And then I thought how blest the man shall be
That shall persuade thy maiden modesty
To hearken to his fond soliciting.

Thou wert so fair, so exquisite a thing,
I thought the very dust on which thy feet
Had left their mark exhaled a scent more sweet
Than honey-dew dropt from an angel's wing.

I see thee now a matron and a mother,
And I, alas! am old before my day.
Both to myself and thee I owe another -

A holier passion, a devoter lay.
Each spark of earthly fire I now must smother,
And wish for nought for which I dare not pray.
