Twin'St Thou With Lofty Wreath Thy Brow? By Paul, The Silentiary.

Twin'st thou with lofty wreath thy brow?         Such glory then thy beauty sheds,     I almost think, while awed I bow         'Tis Rhea's self before me treads.     Be what thou wilt,--this heart     Adores whate'er thou art!     Dost thou thy loosened ringlets leave,         Like sunny waves to wander free?     Then, such a chain of charms they weave,         As draws my inmost soul from me.     Do what thou wilt,--I must     Be charm'd by all thou dost!     Even when, enwrapt in silvery veils,         Those sunny locks elude the sight,--     Oh, not even then their glory fails         To haunt me with its unseen light.     Change as thy beauty may,     It charms in every way.     For, thee the Graces still attend,         Presiding o'er each new attire,     And lending every dart they send         Some new, peculiar touch of fire,     Be what thou wilt,--this heart         Adores what'er thou art!
