Lady's Yes, The
"Yes," I answered you last night;
Point her to the starry skies,
Scorn of me recoils on you.
No man on your face shall see
Nobly, as the thing is high九_九_藏_书_网;
Ladys Yes, The
With a loyal gravity.
Fit for Yes or fit for No.
Time to dance is not to woo---
SHALL be Yes for evermore.
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Will not look the same by day.
Any grief for change on mine.
Bravely, as for life and death---
Pure from courtships flatteries.
Lamps above, and laughs below---
Call me false, or call me free---
Love me sounded like a jest,
And her Yes, once said to you,
Elizabeth Barrett Browningwww.99lib•net
Ever true, as wives of yore---
Learn to win a ladys faith
By your truth she shall be true---
Colours seen by candlelight,
Lead her from the festive 九*九*藏*书*网boards,
"No," this morning, Sir, I say.
Vow, whatever light may shine,
Wooer light makes fickle troth---
When the viols played their best,
Yet the sin is on us both---
