Oft Music changed, but never ceased her tone,

And rippling waters made a pleasant moan:
The Queen of tides on high consenting shone;
And when a

'Twas as if, darting from her heavenly throne,
A brighter glance her form reflected gave,

Marvell - Poems |

The verdant turf, and flowers of every hue,
Clustering beneath yon aged holm-oak's gloom,
For the sweet pressure of her fair feet sue;
The orbs of fire that stud yon beauteous sky,
Cheer'd by her

and her smiles, assume
Superior lustre and serenity.

Her home is neat and homely, not a cot and not a palace,
Just the home where love sets up his
