WRITTEN ON A LADY OF DARK COMPLEXION, A NATIVE OF INDIA .
What though her cheeks no lilies grace,
Her mind may still be fair;
Those charms, which Heav'n denied her face,
May all be center'd there!
The lily's whiteness soon is pass'd,
The rose's bloom will fade;
But her attractions long must last,
Whose mind's without a shade!
What though her cheeks no lilies grace,
Her mind may still be fair;
Those charms, which Heav'n denied her face,
May all be center'd there!
The lily's whiteness soon is pass'd,
The rose's bloom will fade;
But her attractions long must last,
Whose mind's without a shade!
