TWO LOVERS
By George Eliot
Two lovers by u moss-grown
spring;
They leaned soil cheeks together
there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes
sing.
<) budding time!
O love's blest prime
Two wedded from the portal stept:
The bells made happy caroling*.
The air was soft us fanning
wings.
White petals on the pathway slept.
O pure-eyed bride!
O tender pride!
Tw'o faces o'er a cradle bent:
Two hands above the head were
locked:
These pressed each other while
they rocked,
Those watched a life that love had
sent.
O solemn hour!
O hidden power!
