Sweet breathe the henna-flowers that harem girls
So love to twine among their glossy curls.
Ruins of Ind! Here, too, with busy hand,
Hath man built shrines, and gorgeous cities plann'd,
That Time may mock his toil?—and must he still
For weeds and reptiles ply his plastic skill?
The angel, crossing heaven on wings of light,
Stooped to admire, and paused upon his flight,
As Woman rose in beauty on the plain,
The last and loveliest link of Being's chain.
