MY DREAM. As graceful as the stately swan that swims upon the lake, As loveh ' as a bird of paradise ; With a sweet, alluring face that makes my heart to palpitate ; But how shall I describe my darling ' s eyes ? Those brilliant orbs, the portals to a heart and soul so pure ; Those witching eyes, S(. sparkling, yet so kind ; Far brighter than any gem this earth has ever seen ; No softer ones in heaven will von find.
