The Uncollected Poems of Henry Timrod | ||
SWEET IF YOU DEEM
Sweet if you deem I but pretend to sigh
That all my oft breath'd vows are fleet as air,
Turn thee and gaze in my impassion'd eye,
And see thine image back reflected there.
That all my oft breath'd vows are fleet as air,
Turn thee and gaze in my impassion'd eye,
And see thine image back reflected there.
Yet even that evanishes you say
Should we alas! for one brief moment part,
True Love but then it only goes away
To be daguerotyp'd [sic] upon my heart.
Should we alas! for one brief moment part,
True Love but then it only goes away
To be daguerotyp'd [sic] upon my heart.
