- SONG
- by Edgar Allan Poe
-
- 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.
-
- That blush, perhaps, was maiden shame-
- As such it well may pass-
- Though its glow hath raised a fiercer flame
- In the breast of him, alas!
-
- Who saw thee on that bridal day,
- When that deep blush would come o'er thee,
- Though happiness around thee lay;
- The world all love before thee.

- -THE END-
