Poetry
Song

by Edgar Allen Poe

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.
