Explore "Love's Language" 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 patent 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.
