No 'tis not the region where Love's to be found	A
They have bosoms that sigh they have glances that rove	B
They have language a Sappho's own lip might resound	A
When she warbled her best but they've nothing like Love	C
	-
Nor is't that pure sentiment only they want	D
Which Heaven for the mild and the tranquil hath made	E
Calm wedded affection that home rooted plant	F
Which sweetens seclusion and smiles in the shade	E
	-
That feeling which after long years have gone by	G
Remains like a portrait we've sat for in youth	H
Where even tho' the flush of the colors may fly	G
The features still live in their first smiling truth	H
	-
That union where all that in Woman is kind	I
With all that in Man most ennoblingly towers	J
Grow wreathed into one like the column combined	I
Of the strength of the shaft and the capital's flowers	J
	-
Of this bear ye witness ye wives everywhere	K
By the ARNO the PO by all ITALY'S streams	L
Of this heart wedded love so delicious to share	K
Not a husband hath even one glimpse in his dreams	L
	-
But it is not this only born full of the light	M
Of a sun from whose fount the luxuriant festoons	L
Of these beautiful valleys drink lustre so bright	M
That beside him our suns of the north are but moons	L
	-
We might fancy at least like their climate they burned	N
And that Love tho' unused in this region of spring	O
To be thus to a tame Household Deity turned	N
Would yet be all soul when abroad on the wing	O
	-
And there may be there are those explosions of heart	P
Which burst when the senses have first caught the flame	Q
Such fits of the blood as those climates impart	P
Where Love is a sun stroke that maddens the frame	Q
	-
But that Passion which springs in the depth of the soul	R
Whose beginnings are virginly pure as the source	L
Of some small mountain rivulet destined to roll	R
As a torrent ere long losing peace in its course	L
	-
A course to which Modesty's struggle but lends	L
A more headlong descent without chance of recall	S
But which Modesty even to the last edge attends	L
And then throws a halo of tears round its fall	S
	-
This exquisite Passion ay exquisite even	T
Mid the ruin its madness too often hath made	E
As it keeps even then a bright trace of the heaven	U
That heaven of Virtue from which it has strayed	E
	-
This entireness of love which can only be found	A
Where Woman like something that's holy watched over	V
And fenced from her childhood with purity round	A
Comes body and soul fresh as Spring to a lover	V
	-
Where not an eye answers where not a hand presses	L
Till spirit with spirit in sympathy move	W
And the Senses asleep in their sacred recesses	L
Can only be reached thro' the temple of Love	C
	-
This perfection of Passion how can it be found	A
Where the mystery Nature hath hung round the tie	G
By which souls are together attracted and bound	A
Is laid open for ever to heart	P
ear and eye	G
	-
Where naught of that innocent doubt can exist	X
That ignorance even than knowledge more bright	M
Which circles the young like the morn's sunny mist	X
And curtains them round in their own native light	M
	-
Where Experience leaves nothing for Love to reveal	Y
Or for Fancy in visions to gleam o'er the thought	Z
But the truths which alone we would die to conceal	Y
From the maiden's young heart are the only ones taught	Z
	-
No no 'tis not here howsoever we sigh	G
Whether purely to Hymen's one planet we pray	A2
Or adore like Sabaeans each light of Love's sky	G
Here is not the region to fix or to stray	A2
	-
For faithless in wedlock in gallantry gross	L
Without honor to guard to reserve to restrain	B2
What have they a husband can mourn as a loss	L
What have they a lover can prize as a gain	B2
