Explore "How Does Love Speak?" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
How does Love speak? / In the faint flush upon the tell-tale cheek, / And in the pallor that succeeds it; by / The quivering lid of an averted eye -- / The smile that proves the parent of 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.
