Did Not... Thomas Moore... |
'Twas a new feeling- something more Than we had dared to own before, Which then we hid not; We saw it in each other's eye, And wished, in every half-breathed sigh, To speak, but did not. |
She felt my lips' impassioned touch- 'Twas the first time I dared so much, And yet she chide not; But whispered o'er my burning brow, 'Oh, do you doubt I love you now?' Sweet soul! I did not. |
Warmly I felt her bosom thrill, I pressed it closer, closer still, Though gently bid not; Till- oh! the world hath seldom heard Of lovers, who so nearly erred, And yet, who did not. |
