A breath upon my face, A whisper at my ear, Filling this leafy place, Tell me love is here. The sea-gloom of her eyes, The apples of her breast, The shadows where she lies, A-tremble or at rest, The little rosy knees, The beech-brown of her hair -- A thousand things like these Tell me love is fair. The clinging of her kiss, Her heart that looks beyond, The joys she will not miss, Tell me love is fond. And when I am away, A weary dying fall, Haunting the wind by day, Tells me love is all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEED OF LOVING by STRICKLAND GILLILAN A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK NOCTURNAL SKETCH; BLANK VERSE IN RHYME by THOMAS HOOD MR.
