Here you will find the Poem A Bridal Song of poet Hugh McCrae

A Bridal Song

SHE is more sparkling beautiful 
Than dawn-light seen thro? tears 
The weeping worlds of Paradise 
Shed down upon the spheres. 

Her eyes are bright and passionate 
With love?s immortal flame? 
The flowers of a wildwood tree 
In petals write her name. 

Her breath of life ?s so wondrous sweet 
The bees halt, in amaze, 
Their streaming honey-laden fleet 
Above the meadow ways; 

And every little singing thing 
Atween the breasted hill 
And God?s high-vaulted cloistering 
Upraises with a will 

Paeans of laud, and cheery chaunts 
Of her, who now is mine? 
Queen-Angel of angelic haunts 
Thro? months of mead and wine.
