English text

They know not my heart, who believe there can be
One stain of this earth in its feelings for thee;
Who think, while I see thee in beauty’s young hour,
As pure as the morning’s first dew on the flower,
I could harm what I love, as the sun’s wanton ray
But smiles on the dewdrop to waste it away.

No, beaming with light as those young features are,
There’s a light round thy heart which is lovelier far:
It is not that cheek, ’tis the soul drawing clear
Thro’ its innocent blush makes thy beauty so dear;
As the sky we look up to, though glorious and fair,
Is looked up to the more because Heaven lies there.
