SONNET.
INEZ TO MANUEL.
Dearer and dearer thou for ever art!Surely my Soul grows with this growth of love!
More capable of feeling still 'twill prove,
While fresh emotions burn within my heart,
And ever act a brighter, deeper part.
Mine adoration still doth live and move!—
Oh! 'tis no stagnant well; the skies above
Behold it ever spreading, quickening, start
To mightier being; not an hour but brings
Some blest accession to its strength and truth,
My Thoughts—a Pyramid of precious things!—
Bloom like the flowers, though like the Stars in youth,
Immortal fixed—my Soul its whole wealth flings,
Beloved, at thy feet, a gift of price, in sooth.
Lazaretto, Orsova.
