“Answering, there came
A deep, low tremulous sound, which thrilled my frame.
A moment, that young form shrunk back abashed
At its own feelings; and all vainly dashed
The tear aside, which speedily returned
To quench the cheek where fleeting blushes burned.
A moment, while I sought her fears to stay,
The timid girl in silence shrank away—
A moment, from my grasp her hand withdrew—
A moment, hid her features from my view—
Then rising, sank with tears upon my breast,
Her struggles and her love at once confessed.”
