Whilst tracing thy visage, I sink in emotion, For no other damsel so wond'rous I see; Thy looks are so pleasing, thy charms so amazing, I think of no other, my true-love, but thee. With heart-burning rapture I gaze on thy beauty, And fly like a bird to the boughs of a tree; Thy looks are so pleasing, thy charms so amazing, I fancy no other, my true-love, but thee. Thus oft in the valley I think, and I wonder Why cannot a maid with her lover agree? Thy looks are so pleasing, thy charms so amazing, I pine for no other, my true-love, but thee. I'd fly from thy frowns with a heart full of sorrow -- Return, pretty damsel, and smile thou on me; By every endeavor, I'll try thee forever, And languish until I am fancied by thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PEACE by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS CATARINA TO CAMOENS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING TAM I' THE KIRK by VIOLET JACOB SPECIMEN OF AN INDUCTION TO A POEM by JOHN KEATS TOMMY [ATKINS] by RUDYARD KIPLING THE EVENING CLOUD by JOHN WILSON (1785-1854) THE BREAKING by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON |
