TO ------.
When the Moon shines in the lucid sky,
Silently and still;
Like beauty's sadly-musing eye,
Which the bright tears fill—
How the melting hush, like a spell,
Doth the soul disarm,
And the breath is restrainëd well,
Lest it break the charm!
Silently and still;
Like beauty's sadly-musing eye,
Which the bright tears fill—
How the melting hush, like a spell,
Doth the soul disarm,
And the breath is restrainëd well,
Lest it break the charm!
So when we gaze with joy intense,
On that radiant face,
And the pure soft light of innocence
In its features trace—
How its still sweet serenity
O'er the spirit steals;
Till the heart dare not breathe to thee
Of the love it feels!
On that radiant face,
And the pure soft light of innocence
In its features trace—
How its still sweet serenity
O'er the spirit steals;
Till the heart dare not breathe to thee
Of the love it feels!
1830.
