• Whenever Beauty looks,
  Love is also there;
  Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek
  Love lights Her fire from that flame.
  When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night
  Love comes and finds a heart
  entangled in tresses.
  Beauty and Love are as body and soul.
  Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
