Did Not
'Twas a new feeling-something more.
Than we had dared to own before.
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each others eyes.
And wished in every half- breathe sigh.
To speak,
But did not.
He felt my lips impassioned touch,
Twas the first time I dared so much.
Yet whispered o'er my burning brow,
'Oh, do you doubt I love you now?'
Sweet soul!
I did not.
The world hath seldom heard.
Of lovers,
Who so nearly erred,
And yet...Who did not?
Than we had dared to own before.
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each others eyes.
And wished in every half- breathe sigh.
To speak,
But did not.
He felt my lips impassioned touch,
Twas the first time I dared so much.
Yet whispered o'er my burning brow,
'Oh, do you doubt I love you now?'
Sweet soul!
I did not.
The world hath seldom heard.
Of lovers,
Who so nearly erred,
And yet...Who did not?
