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.

Who saw thee on that bridal day, When that deep blush @3would@1 come o'er thee, Though happiness around thee lay; The world all love before thee. |
