And if in death still lovely, lovelier there;
Far lovelier! pity swells the tide of love.

The hovering vision back, and breathe
New glories o'er the blighted spring,
And call a lovelier Life from Death,
And whisper, with a voice divine,
Of real worlds, as bright as thine.

To every failing but their own,
And every woe a tear can claim
Except an erring sister's shame.

A Nymph, a Naiad, or a Grace
Of finer form or lovelier face.
