If Fair By Nature

Title:     If Fair By Nature
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

If fair by Nature
She honours the fair Boon with fair adorning,
And graces that bespeak a gracious breeding,
Can gracious Nature lessen Nature's Graces?
If taught by both she betters both and honours
Fair gifts with fair adorning, know you not
There is a beauty that resides within;--
A fine and delicate spirit of womanhood
Of inward birth?--

[The end]
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: If Fair By Nature
