A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld.
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.
But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes, and denies,
'Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.
A charm invests a face But peers beyond her mesh, |
If you were coming in the fall, If I could see you in a year, If... |
For each ecstatic instant For each beloved hour |
I lost a World - the other day! A Rich man—might not notice it— |
You left me, sweet, two legacies,-- You left me boundaries of pain |
I gave myself to him, The value might disappoint, Depreciates the sight; |
Heart, we will forget him! When you have done, pray tell me |
Proud of my broken heart since thou didst break it, |
To lose thee, sweeter than to gain |
It's all I have to bring today-- |
