SONG: ON HEARING A SONG IN PRAISE OF A LADY'S BEAUTY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: TIS NOT THE LILY-BROW I PRIZE
Last Line: THE LOOK THAT LOVE ALONE CAN SEE!
Subject(s): BEAUTY;

'Tis not the lily-brow I prize,
Nor roseate cheeks, nor sunny eyes,
Enough of lilies and of roses!
A thousand-fold more dear to me
The gentle look that Love discloses, --
The look that Love alone can see!
