BRIDEGROOM TO BRIDE.
To the happy all things are heavenly.
|
Where'er I turn this blessed day, 'Tis heaven and sunshine every way; With heavenly songs and heavenly hues, Mingle the birds, and flowers, and dews. Lo! here within the crystal moat Heaven's clouds like radiant islands float, And high above the golden hill Smiles heavenly summer blue and still. I gaze into thy loving eyes, Heaven there in twofold azure lies; And when I glance into my heart, 'Tis heaven indeed—for there thou art! |
THE EAR-RING.
|
An ear-ring you devise For your affianced girl; No diamond will suffice, Nor wealth of lustrous pearl, But call her "dearest dear," Swear nought your love shall sever, If true, you deck her ear With gems that shine for ever. |
