Classic Poem

1

Maiden with that sunny brow
Smile my love and cheer me now
For my heart is left alone
And my life is chilled to stone
Rose tinged cheek and breast of snow
Hear me now before you go
How doatingly I love you

2

By the sunbeams shed from high
By the blue ethereal sky
That blesses you where 'e'er you go
And gives those eyes the brightest glow
Ah hear the words I have to say
Spoken on this summers day
I only look to love thee

3

Maiden with that dark brown hair
Cheeks rose tinged and bosom fair
Red lips and nose so acquiline
Dress so neat and shape divine
Hear me as I bless thee so
Hear my vows before I go
How through my life I'll love thee

4

Sweet is the rose tinge steeped in dew
Sweet is the evenings gold and blue
Sweet flies the swallow o'er the plain
Sweet smells the sweetbriar after rain
Let me kiss before you go
That cheek — and bosom like the snow
I'll ever ever love thee
