RONDEL.
Darling, what different things declared
The language of our lips and eyes,
When first we met, in love's surprise,
Amid an alien crowd that stared.
The language of our lips and eyes,
When first we met, in love's surprise,
Amid an alien crowd that stared.
And after, while not yet we dared
Make aught but stranger-like replies,
Darling, what different things declared
The language of our lips and eyes.
Make aught but stranger-like replies,
Darling, what different things declared
The language of our lips and eyes.
But when at last our hearts despaired
Of any hope in earth or skies,
Save in each other's love that lies,
Our lips, from love no longer scared,
Darling, what different things declared!
Of any hope in earth or skies,
Save in each other's love that lies,
Our lips, from love no longer scared,
Darling, what different things declared!
