Hartley Coleridge.
She is not fair to outward view
As other maidens be;
Her loveliness I never knew,
Until she smiled on me.
Oh! then I saw her eye was bright,
A well of love, a spring of light,
But now her looks are coy and cold,
To mine they ne’er reply;
And yet I cease not to behold
The love-light in her eye.
Her very frowns are fairer far,
Than smiles of other maidens are.
