Edgar Allan Poe

Here you will find the Poem Song of poet Edgar Allan Poe

Song

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.
