A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld, —
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.
Imperfectly beheld, —
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.
But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes, and denies, —
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.
And wishes, and denies, —
Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.
