¶Liedtext

They know not my heart, who believe there can be One stain of this earth in its feelings for thee; Who think, while I see thee in beauty’s young hour, As pure as the morning’s first dew on the flower, I could harm what I love, as the sun’s wanton ray But smiles on the dewdrop to waste it away. No, beaming with light as those young features are, There’s a light round thy heart which is lovelier far: It is not that cheek, ’tis the soul drawing clear Thro’ its innocent blush makes thy beauty so dear; As the sky we look up to, though glorious and fair, Is looked up to the more because Heaven lies there.
