This season of the year,
And when a soul perceives itself
To be an Emperor.

A Blossom, or a Book,
The seeds of smiles are planted—
Which blossom in the dark.

With which we help the Wheel
But when the Vital Axle turns

Jesus! thy Crucifix
Enable thee to guess
The smaller size!

Jesus! thy second face
Mind thee in Paradise
Of ours!

The thought beneath so slight a film
Is more distincly seen, --
As laces just reveal the surge,
Or mists the Apennine.

They ask but our Delight—
The Darlings of the Soil
And grant us all their Countenance
For a penurious smile.

The Definition of Beauty is
That Definition is none—
Of Heaven, easing Analysis,
Since Heaven and He are one.
