Smiles can surer wound or heal
Than the stars, whose light they steal.
She whose power is undenied

And thy warning softly sing!

She whose power is undenied
Should have pity with her pride,
Should remember, while her frown
Clouds the hope she may not crown,
Rarest skill and subtlest art
Cannot mend the broken heart!"
So, fair spirit, wave thy wing,
And thy warning softly sing!
