The difference between you and her br (whom I to you did once prefer) br Is clear enough to settle: br She like a diamond shone, but you br Shine like an early drop of dew br Poised on a red rose petal. br br The dew-drop carries in its eye br Mountain and forest, sea and sky, br With every change of weather; br Contrariwise, a diamond splits br The prospect into idle bits br That none can piece together.
