Quantum Est Quod Desit


‘Twas a new feeling – something more
Than we had dar’d to own before,
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each other’s eye,
And wish’d in every broken sigh
To speak, but did not!

She felt my lips’ impassion’d touch;
‘Twas the first time I dar’d so much,
And yet, she chid not;
But whisper’d 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 prest it closer, closer still,
Though gently bid not;
Till – oh! the world hath seldom heard
Of lovers, who so nearly err’d,
And yet who – did not!
