“But my heart it is brighter
Than all of the many
Stars of the sky
For it sparkles with Annie
It glows with the light
Of the love of my Annie”

sobbing ! how cute and loving !

“Save only the divine light in thine eyes—Save but the soul in thine uplifted eyes. I saw but them—they were the world to me. I saw but them—saw only them for hours—Saw only them until the moon went down.”

😭😭

“Ah, less—less bright
The stars of the night
Than the eyes of the radiant girl!”

men don’t write about women like this anymore

“And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace-door,
Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing,
And sparkling evermore,”

“All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers
And all the flowers were mine.”

“In her highest noon,
The enamoured moon
Blushes with love,”

“That years of love have been forgot In the hatred of a minute:”

“For in his heart, as in thy stream,
Her image deeply lie
His heart which trembles at the beam
Of her soul-searching eyes.”

“Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
