Felicia Dorothea Hemans - Song. The Smile
Work rating: Low

LET others love the pearly tear,
	The blushing cheek adorning;
	And say, `tis like the dew-drop clear,
	That gems the rose of morning.

	Let others love to see the fair
	With pensive mien appearing;
	Be mine, to hail the sprightly air,
	The dimpled smile endearing.

	It speaks good-humour`s mild control,
	With magic fascination;
	It tells the feelings of the soul,
	With sportive animation.

	Superior to the brightest eyes,
	Or cheek with roses blooming;
	A winning charm it still supplies,
	The lovely face illuming.

	`Twas Hebe taught fair beauty`s queen,
	The gay, bewitching wile;
	And still her glowing lips are seen,
	To wear a playful smile.
