For the Fair Miss M. M. McLean
May this inspired acrostic prove
A perfect token of my love
Return thy torch allmost expired
Yet find by whom thou art admired
My soul of love would fly to thee
Constrained thy winning form to see
Like pan whose destiny was grief
Exploring nature for relief
And sure when thee my love has found
Nought els[e] in life can heal the wound
When on the constelations
I cast my eyes afar
Then i can tell
My bonny belle
The queen of every star
When i look from the mountain
Or nature's lofty tower
Then i can tell
My bonny belle
The queen of ever[y] flower
When gazing from the window
On blooms both low and tall
Then i can tell
My charming belle
The fairest one of all
A perfect token of my love
Return thy torch allmost expired
Yet find by whom thou art admired
My soul of love would fly to thee
Constrained thy winning form to see
Like pan whose destiny was grief
Exploring nature for relief
And sure when thee my love has found
Nought els[e] in life can heal the wound
When on the constelations
I cast my eyes afar
Then i can tell
My bonny belle
The queen of every star
When i look from the mountain
Or nature's lofty tower
Then i can tell
My bonny belle
The queen of ever[y] flower
When gazing from the window
On blooms both low and tall
Then i can tell
My charming belle
The fairest one of all
