Explore "Love in a Look (Lyrics, Dramatic and Personal)" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Let me but feel thy look's embrace, / Transparent, pure, and warm, / And I'll not ask to touch thy face, / Or fold thee in mine arm.
For in thine eyes a girl doth rise, / Arrayed in candid bliss, / And draws me to her with a charm / More close than any kiss.
A loving-cup of golden wine, / Songs of a silver brook, / And fragrant breaths of eglantine, / Are mingled in thy look.
More fair they are than any star, / Thy topaz eyes divine -- / And deep within their trysting-nook / Thy spirit blends with mine.
