Oh! I have seen the blush of morn, And I have seen the evening sky; But ah! they faded when I gaz'd On the bright heaven of Margaret's eye. I've seen the Queen of evening ride Majestic, 'mid the clouds on high; But e'en Diana in her pride Was dim, near Margaret's brilliant eye. I've seen the azure vault of heaven, I've seen the star-bespangled sky; But oh! I would the whole have given For one sweet glance from Margaret's eye. I've seen the dew upon the rose, It trembled 'neath the zephyr's sigh; But oh! the tear which nature shed Was dim near that in Margaret's eye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANTIQUITY OF FREEDOM by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE IDEA OF BALANCE IS TO BE FOUND IN HERONS AND LOONS by JAMES HARRISON BALLAD: TIME OF ROSES by THOMAS HOOD FELICIA HEMANS by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON PSALM 19.
