What a Bride is in the soul! By the reflection of Her face
May the world be freshened and coloured like the hands of the newly
married![2]
Look not on the fleshy cheek which corrupts and decays,
Look on the spiritual cheek--may it be sweet and agreeable!
The dark body resembles a raven, and the body's world winter;
O in spite of these two unpleasants may there be Eternal Spring!
