Excerpt from Poems How does Love speak? In the faint flush upon the telltale cheek, And in the pallor that succeeds it by The quivering lid of an averted eye The smile that proves the parent to a sigh Thus doth Love speak. How does Love speak By the uneven heart-throbs, and the freak Of bounding pulses that stand still and ache, While new emotions, like strange barges, make Along vein-channels their disturbing course Still as the dawn, and with the dawn's swift force Thus doth Love speak. How does Love speak In the proud spirit suddenly grown meek The haughty heart grown humble; in the tender And unnamed light that floods the world with splendour.
