H. Coleridge

CLXXV. "She is not fair to outward view"

SHE is not fair to outward view,
As many maidens be;
Her loveliness I never knew
Until she smiled on me.
Oh, then I saw her eye was bright,	5
A well of love, a spring of light.
But now her looks are coy and cold,
To mine they ne'er reply,
And yet I cease not to behold
The love-light in her eye:	10
Her very frowns are fairer far
Than smiles of other maidens are.

• Clearly he is in love with a woman who does not notice him." Her loveliness I never knew" 
• She doesn't seem to be the nicest woman, "But now her looks are coy and cold," yet he still finds her beautiful. 
• Even though she is cold, she still has life in her eyes.
