To Hymen's shrine, where once thy vows were paid, Thou hast been on pilgrimage again: and now Thy evening fire, whose fitful radiance play'd Often for us alone, lights up a brow, And eye, and cheek, which by its dancing rays Look lovelily; and make the circle round One upon which thy gladden'd eye may gaze Untired, till thy heart own its wishes crown'd. May health, and home-born bliss, and calm content Long haunt the spot! and still increasing love Of her, now own'd its brightest ornament, An ample source of purest pleasure prove. That you may both confess each hope fulfill'd, On which love prompted you @3again@1 to build. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELIOT'S OAK; SONNET by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW MEMORIAL TO D.C.: 5.
