DECLARATION OF LOVE.
TULIP.
54
Yes! by those eyes of azure glory,
Shedding their star-like smiles on me;
Yes! by that cheek, changing and glowing,
Warm as the plumage of yon bright lory,
By those ringlets so richly flowing,
Dearest, I love but thee!
Shedding their star-like smiles on me;
Yes! by that cheek, changing and glowing,
Warm as the plumage of yon bright lory,
By those ringlets so richly flowing,
Dearest, I love but thee!
Yes! by that foot of fairy fleetness,
Springing ever so light and free,
By that figure's gazelle-like grace, love,
By thy spirit's pure truth and sweetness,
By all thy magic of mind and face, love,
Ever I love but thee!
Springing ever so light and free,
By that figure's gazelle-like grace, love,
By thy spirit's pure truth and sweetness,
By all thy magic of mind and face, love,
Ever I love but thee!
