Love
To Miss Isabella Percy
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
If that old hermit laid to rest
Beneath your chapel-floor,
Could leave the regions of the blest
And visit earth once more:
If human sympathies could warm
His tranquil breast again,
Your innocence that breast could charm,
Perhaps your beauty pain.
