TO A FAIR LADY.

 FAIR Lady, you were clad in white When first your gentle eyes I met, And never shall my heart forget The vision of that August night.  

 With the pale moon's transcendent light, You shone, in your clear heaven set; Fair Lady, you were clad in white When first your gentle eyes I met.  

 Bend, Moon of Women, from your height, Soothe with your smile earth's care and fret, Let us be happy in your debt, Since you Love's varied charms unite; Your soul and you were clad in white When first your gentle eyes I met.
