Explore "Wedding Day" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE enchanted hour, / The magic bower, / Where, crowned with roses, / Love love discloses.
"Kiss me, my lover; / Doubting is over, / Over is waiting; / Love lights our mating!"
"But roses wither, / Chill winds blow hither, / One thing all say, dear, / Love lives a day, dear!"
"Heed those old stories? / New glowing glories / Blot out those lies, love! / Look in my eyes, love!
"Ah, but the world knows- / Naught of the true rose; / Back the world slips, love! / Give me your lips, love!
"Even were their lies true, / Yet were you wise to / Swear, at Love's portal, / The god's immortal. "
