The Fall of the Leaf | ||
X.
The Bridesmaid sate the chief beside;She saw his cheek distend with pride!
But Lucca dreams, and speaks of nought but love;
While fires through every nerve, in wildest rapture move!
The Bride at length, 'mid fears and hopes, is led
To bridal chamber by her bridal maid,
Lucca's sweet sister, Margaret; who stood
Beside her pillow long in melancholy mood.—
All grace she was;—all beauty:—but the look
Of Arno's lord her breast with terror shook.
No joy she shew'd, dissembling;—pity fill'd
Her bosom mantling; while her veins were chill'd.—
The Fall of the Leaf | ||
