Hi Scott,

Could it be *Each and All *By Ralph Waldo Emerson?
http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/45877

Which includes:

*The lover watched his graceful maid, *
*As 'mid the virgin train she stayed, *
*Nor knew her beauty's best attire *
*Was woven still by the snow-white choir.*


Thanks be to Google!
- Ian
