Unseen hands delay
The coming of what oft seems close in ken,
And, contrary, the moment, when we say

Don't be so humble--you are not that great.

As pure as a pearl,
And as perfect: a noble and innocent girl.

And as perfect: a noble and innocent girl.

O hour, of all hours, the most blesse'd upon earth,
The bless'd hour of our dinners!

O hour, of all hours, the most blesse'd upon earth,
The bless'd hour of our dinners!
