| QUOTATION: | She was a phantom of delight When first she gleamed upon my sight, A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment’s ornament; Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, Like twilights too her dusky hair, But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | She was a Phantom of Delight. |
