How does Love communicate?
In the faint flush upon the telltale cheek,
And in the pallor that succeeds it; by way of
The quivering lid of an averted eye--
The smile that proves the mother or father to a sigh
for that reason doth Love speak.
How does Love speak?
By the uneven coronary heart-throbs, and the freak
Of bounding pulses that stand nonetheless and discomfort,
at the same time new emotions, like strange barges, make
along vein-channels their stressful direction;
still because the daybreak, and with the daybreak's swift force--
hence doth Love speak.
How does Love speak?
In the avoidance of that which we seek--
The unexpected silence and reserve when near--
the attention that glistens with an unshed tear--
the enjoyment that seems the counterpart of fear,
as the alarmed coronary heart leaps within the breast,
And is aware of, and names, and greets its godlike visitor--
as a result doth Love speak.
How does Love converse?
In the proud spirit immediately grown meek--
The haughty coronary heart grown humble; in the gentle
And unnamed gentle that floods the sector with attractiveness;
within the resemblance which the fond eyes trace
In all fair matters to one loved face;
within the shy touch of palms that thrill and tremble;
In appears and lips that can no more dissemble--
accordingly doth Love communicate.
How does Love speak?
Within the wild words that uttered appear so weak
They reduce ashamed in silence; within the hearth
look strikes with glance, swift flashing excessive and higher,
Like lightnings that precede the mighty storm;
within the deep, soulful stillness; in the warm,
Impassioned tide that sweeps by way of throbbing veins,
Between the shores of eager delights and pains;
within the include the place madness melts in bliss,
And in the convulsive rapture of a kiss--
therefore doth Love speak.
