Why didst thou mask the radiant smile thou wearest?
Why wert thou veiled from all the eager eyes?
Why left so long, O first of lands and fairest,
Beneath thy tent of unconjectured skies?

O radiant Land! o'er whom the sun's first dawning
Fell brightest when God said, "Let there be light";
O'er whom the day hung out its bluest awning
Flushed to white deeps of star-lustre by night!

I can't say I ever knew the lady.
