    From the mingled strength of shade and light
    A new creation rises to my sight,
    Such heav'nly figures from his pencil flow,
    So warm with light his blended colors glow.
    . . . .
    The glowing portraits, fresh from life, that bring
    Home to our hearts the truth from which they spring.
