 TO HELEN WITH A HAND GLASS

OULDST know the face that ever comes between The world and me, The face that from the hour when first 't was seen I ever see? Look in this glass! But ne'er for thee will shine The spirit's fire That lights up eyes and lips when thoughts divine That face inspire.

If to all others it is beautiful I cannot tell; That of my life it is not part but whole I know too well!
