WHEN SHOULD LOVERS BREATHE THEIR VOWS?
327


The fairest smiles are those that live
    On the brow by starlight wreathing;
And the lips their richest incense give
    When the sigh is at midnight breathing.
Oh, softest is the cheek's love-ray
    When seen by moonlight hours,
Other roses seek the day,
    But blushes are night flowers.
Oh, when the moon and stars are bright,
    When the dew-drops glisten,
Then their vows should lovers plight,
    Then should ladies listen.





THE END.
