When my love did what I would not, what I would not, <br /> I could hear his merry voice upon the wind, <br />Crying, "e;Fairest, shut your eyes, for see you should not. <br /> Love is blind!" <br /> <br />When my love said what I say not, what I say not, <br /> With a joyous laugh he quieted my fears, <br />Whispering, "Fairest, hearken not, for hear you may not. <br /> Hath Love ears?" <br /> <br />When my love said, "Will you longer let me seek it? <br /> Blind and deaf is she that doth not bid me come!" <br />All my heart said murmuring, "Dearest, can I speak it? <br /> Love is dumb!<br /><br />Mary Elizabeth Coleridge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-my-love-did-what-i-would-not-what-i-would-n/
