Love within the lover's breast <br />Burns like Hesper in the west, <br />O'er the ashes of the sun, <br />Till the day and night are done; <br />Then when dawn drives up her car - <br />Lo! it is the morning star. <br /> <br />Love! thy love pours down on mine <br />As the sunlight on the vine, <br />As the snow-rill on the vale, <br />As the salt breeze in the sail; <br />As the song unto the bird, <br />On my lips thy name is heard. <br /> <br />As a dewdrop on the rose <br />In thy heart my passion glows, <br />As a skylark to the sky <br />Up into thy breast I fly; <br />As a sea-shell of the sea <br />Ever shall I sing of thee.<br /><br />George Meredith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-untitled-1/
