SONNET.
INEZ TO MANUEL.
I love thee, and such love as mine is, makesA new creation wheresoe'er it moves!—
I love!—and the high Sun, the starred Vault loves!
And the green Earth, that Hope's sweet aspect takes,
I love!—and if my heart with passion aches,
Each element a sad emotion proves;
A world of sighs goes lengthening thro' the groves—
A grief-born murmur in the chilled air wakes;
All Nature loves with my love!—and loves thee!
All love thee, as I love thee!—Such the power,
The magic, mystic power of passion; see!
Whate'er I meet, or find, thro' life's long hour,
Responds my feeling with strange sympathy,
For love hath verily a glorious dower!
