In some fair vision of some fairer world.

See how she stands, all shrined in loveliness;

Her white hands clasped; her clustering locks thrown back

From her high forehead; and in those bright eyes

Tears! radiant emanations! drops of light!

That fall from those surpassing orbs as though

The starry eyes of heaven wept silver dew.
