Hesper + 

Her eyes are like the evening air, + 

Her voice is like a rose, + 

Her lips are like a lovely song, + 

That ripples as it flows, + 

And she herself is sweeter than + 

The sweetest thing she knows. + 

A slender, haunting, twilight form + 

Of wonder and surprise, + 

She seemed a fairy or a child, + 

Till, deep within her eyes, + 

I saw the homeward-leading star + 

Of womanhood arise. + 
