THE FLORAL
STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
A maiden never bold—
Of spirit so still and quiet, that thy motion
Blushes at thyself.
Of spirit so still and quiet, that thy motion
Blushes at thyself.
Shakspeare.
Subtle, discerning, eloquent; the slave
Of Love, of Hate, forever in extremes;
Gentle when unprovoked, easily won,
But quick in quarrel—thro’ a thousand shades
Thy spirit flits, chameleon-like; and mocks
The eye of the observer.
Of Love, of Hate, forever in extremes;
Gentle when unprovoked, easily won,
But quick in quarrel—thro’ a thousand shades
Thy spirit flits, chameleon-like; and mocks
The eye of the observer.
Rogers.
