FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS

'O thy flamed cheek,Those locks with weeping wet,Eyes that, forlorn and meek,On mine are set.'Poor hands, poor feeble wings,Folded, a-droop, O sad!See, 'tis my heart that singsTo make thee glad.'My mouth breathes love, thou dear.All that I am and knowIs thine. My breast—draw near:Be grieved not so!'

'O thy flamed cheek,

Those locks with weeping wet,

Eyes that, forlorn and meek,

On mine are set.

'Poor hands, poor feeble wings,Folded, a-droop, O sad!See, 'tis my heart that singsTo make thee glad.

'Poor hands, poor feeble wings,

Folded, a-droop, O sad!

See, 'tis my heart that sings

To make thee glad.

'My mouth breathes love, thou dear.All that I am and knowIs thine. My breast—draw near:Be grieved not so!'

'My mouth breathes love, thou dear.

All that I am and know

Is thine. My breast—draw near:

Be grieved not so!'
