To her dear memory, who my nursery hung With pictures of the lovely lady pale, The saintly Genoveva, and whose tongue Interpreted to childish ears the tale Of love oer which no treachery could prevail, I dedicate my verse. Slow wane the years Since that blest presence passed within the veil; Yet still my heart the perfect music hears Of the sweet voice whose tone the legend old endears.
