Ballads of Beauty

Margaret and Dora.

Reading edition

Margaret's beauteous,—Grecian arts Ne'er drew form completer; Yet why, in my heart of hearts, Hold I Dora's sweeter? Dora's eyes of heavenly blue Pass all painting's reach,— Ringdoves' notes are discord to The music of her speech. Artists! Margaret's smile receive, And on canvas show it; But for perfect worship, leave Dora to her poet.
