The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonized the whole,— And oh, that eye was in itself a soul!
Lord Byron
Love
The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonized the whole,— And oh, that eye was in itself a soul!
Lord Byron
