TRUE BEAUTY.
True Beauty dwells not in a form or face, Of chiselled outline only ; but where soul Of gracious gentleness gives outward grace, And lights with loveliness the living whole) One tender, deep, appealing look of love, Glancing from eyes, which mirror but the heart Tried and found true—will more imperious prove, In love—than mere Imperial beauty's art! The mute caress—the fondliDg, clinging grasp, And lingering backward look—when forced to roam— And on return—swift step, and welcoming clasp Of love, make even the " homeliest" look the " Augel of our Home."
