“The apple blossoms' shower of pearl,
The pear tree’s rosier hue,

As evanescent too.”

“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.

And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who's sorry for a gnat… or a girl?”

“It was a face, with nothing but the blush
To mark it from the sculptured features round :
As perfect in its beauty; but the flush
Of earthly warmth and earthly feeling crowned
The master-piece of nature;— that rich gush
Was from the heart, which thus a language found,
The eloquence of truth and silence ever : —
Words, sighs, and smiles deceive, but blushes never.”
