SONG
I SAW thee on thy bridal day -
When a burning blush came o`er thee,
Though happiness around thee lay,
The world all love before thee: And in thine eye a kindling light
(Whatever it might be)
Was all on Earth my aching sight
Of Loveliness could see. That blush, perhaps, was maiden shame -
As such it well may pass -
Though its glow hath raised a fiercer flame
In the breast of him, alas! Who saw thee on that bridal day,
When that deep blush would come o`er thee,
Though happiness around thee lay,
The world all love before thee.
