Página 141 - ... when the Saviour's calm benignant eye Fell on your gentle beauty — when from you That heavenly lesson for all hearts he drew, Eternal, universal, as the sky — Then, in the bosom of your purity, A voice He set, as in a temple-shrine, That life's quick travellers ne'er might pass you by Unwarn'd of that sweet oracle divine.
