Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lover's Revenge, and Other Poems The Lover's Revenge Young the maiden was and fair, With azure eyes and golden hair, Lips of coral, fresh and bright, Cheek and brow of purest white, Colored with as soft a glow As light of sunset clouds on snow. In her bridal robes arrayed, Stood that fair and gentle maid, Woman's love and woman's trust Plighting to a child of dust. Yet was his a noble form. And his heart was pure and warm, And as full of love and truth As ever throbbed in breast of youth. Tender looks were on them bent, Smiles and tears together blent, While the sacred vows were spoken Which till death might not be broken. When the heart has found its mate, And accepts its happy fate, Hand-in-hand, for weal or woe, Through life's checkered ways to go, With their joys and sorrows blent, With united purpose bent Lovingly to share each duty, Is it not a scene of beauty? Wherefore, then, amid the joy, Should prophetic fears annoy? Wherefore should the tears unbidden Rush too swiftly to be hidden?
