There is a bloom that never fades

There is a bloom that never fades,
     A Rose no storms can sever.
Beyond the Tulip's gaudy shades
     The ray that beams forever.

There is a charm surpassing art,
     A charm in every feature.
That twines around the feeling heart,
     It is thy voice, oh Nature!

Thou stranger, if thou fain wouldst find
     This Rose no storms can sever,
Go seek it stranger in the Mind -
     The ray that beams forever.
