Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Portuguese XXX lyrics
[Elizabeth Barrett Browning - Portuguese XXX lyrics]
I see thine image through my tears to-night
And yet to day I saw thee smiling how
Refer the cause? -Belovèd, is it thou
Or I, who makes me sad? The acolyte
Amid the chanted joy and thankful rite
May so fall flat, with pale insensate brow
On the altar-stair i hear thy voice and vow
Perplexed, uncertain, since thou art
Out of sight
As he, in his swooning ears, the choir's amen
Belovèd, dost thou love? or did I see all
The glory as I dreamed, and fainted when
Too vehement light dilated my ideal
For my soul's eyes? Will
That light come again
As now these tears come
-falling hot and real?
And yet to day I saw thee smiling how
Refer the cause? -Belovèd, is it thou
Or I, who makes me sad? The acolyte
Amid the chanted joy and thankful rite
May so fall flat, with pale insensate brow
On the altar-stair i hear thy voice and vow
Perplexed, uncertain, since thou art
Out of sight
As he, in his swooning ears, the choir's amen
Belovèd, dost thou love? or did I see all
The glory as I dreamed, and fainted when
Too vehement light dilated my ideal
For my soul's eyes? Will
That light come again
As now these tears come
-falling hot and real?
