<h2><i><SPAN name="SONG"></SPAN>SONG</i></h2>
<p class="poem">
I saw thee on thy bridal day—<br/>
<span class="ind1">When a burning blush came o'er thee,</span><br/>
Though happiness around thee lay,<br/>
<span class="ind1">The world all love before thee:</span><br/>
<br/>
And in thine eye a kindling light<br/>
<span class="ind1">(Whatever it might be)</span><br/>
Was all on Earth my aching sight<br/>
<span class="ind1">Of Loveliness could see.</span><br/>
<br/>
That blush, perhaps, was maiden shame—<br/>
<span class="ind1">As such it well may pass—</span><br/>
Though its glow hath raised a fiercer flame<br/>
<span class="ind1">In the breast of him, alas!</span><br/>
<br/>
Who saw thee on that bridal day,<br/>
<span class="ind1">When that deep blush <i>would</i> come o'er thee,</span><br/>
Though happiness around thee lay;<br/>
<span class="ind1">The world all love before thee.</span><br/></p>
