My Lyrical Life | ||
AS THEY PASSED.
Within Love's chariot, side by side,Sweetness and Strength did never ride
More perfectly personified:
One of the dearest Angels out
Of Heaven, the Bride was, beyond doubt;
And his a Manhood fit to be
The mortal Mansion of some deity.
63
Glowing with precious life,
As at her Husband's side she clung,
The nestled, new-made Wife!
Glad were they in the happiness they gave,
But in their own proud pleasure they were grave.
