SAY they that all beauty lies In the paler maiden's hue? Say they that all softness flies, Save from the eyes of April blue? Arise thou, like a night in June, Beautiful Quadroon! Come -- all dark and bright, as skies With the tender starlight hung! Loose the love from out thine eyes! Loose the angel from thy tongue! Let them hear heaven's own sweet tune, Beautiful Quadroon! Tell them -- Beauty (born above) From no shade nor hue doth fly; All she asks is mind, is love, And both upon @3thine@1 aspect lie -- Like the light upon the moon, Beautiful Quadroon! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO RUSSIA by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER OUR LEFT' by FRANCIS ORRERY TICKNOR THE MOUNTAIN TOMB: 1.
