A GEM.
Into my heart a silent look

Into my heart silent look
Flashed from thy careless eyes,
And what before was shadow, took
The light OF summer skies.
The first born love was in that look
The Venus rose from out the deep
or those inspiring eyes.
My life, like some lone solemn SPOT
A spirit passes Ger,
Grew instinct with glory not
la earth or heaven before;
Sweet trouble stirred the haunted spot,
And shook the leaves Of every thought
Thy presence wandered Ger.
My being yearned aud crepl to thine,
As, il in times Of yore,
Thy soul had been a part OF mine
Which claimed it back once more;
Thy very self no longer thine,
But merged in That delicious lie
Which made US one Of yore!
There bloomed beside thee forms as faI.
There murmured tones as sweet,
But round thee brealhed the enchanted al
Twas life and death 10 meet;
And hence(onh thou alone weret fair,
And though the stars had sung for Joy,
They whisper only sweet.
