0 LADY FAIR !
0 LADY fair ! 0 lady fair 1 How glad that joyous smile ! Which on this wrinkled brow of care Sheds brightness for a while ; In dimpled grace and beauty
. . Thou sittest , laughing still , And in all of loving duty Thou hrav ' st each good and ill .
0 lady fair ! 0 lady fair ! Let love and trust decay : Thou , in thy gifts so great and rare , Art a goodly Truth to-day ! Before thee Time , relenting , Seems to withhold its token ; With thee , in fond consenting Both vows and hearts are broken .
0 lady fair ! 0 lady fair ! Defend me from those eyes , Which seem to greet me everywhere With their deep and soft surprise . In tenderness unuttered Thou fill'st me with delight , With syllables half-muttered—With promises most bright !
. 0 lady fair ! 0 lady fair ! What hoot earth's changes nowl The leaves are gone—the tree is hare—Forgotten the Summer vow ! My Vision is but seeming , And a haze—it fills the room , As in that forgotten gleaming I mind me of growing gloom .
0 lady fair ! 0 lady fan- ! Be yet , as now thou art , A Rest amid this worldly glare— . A Star still seen apart . Oh ! may that large and loving heart Rule every grief and glee ,
As lifelong hopes and joys depart , And the spirit turns to thee . 0 lady fair ! 0 lady fair ! What mean these words of mine 1 1 think I see thee sitting there , With that soft smile of thine !
0 lady fair ! 0 lady fair ! The shadows flit and fade : ¦ Tha vision melts into dim air , — Ended the Masquerade ! NEMO . 2 c 2
