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