115. oldal - The smooth black stream that makes thy whiteness fair,Sweet fluttering sheet, even of her breath aware, — Oh let thy silent song disclose to me That soul wherewith her lips and eyes agree Like married music in Love's answering air. Fain had I watched her when, at some fond thought. Her bosom to the writing closelier press'd.
