Love
As lamps burn silent with unconscious light
From Lyra Elegantiarum, ed. Frederick Locker (London: E. Moxon, 1867)
Love
As lamps burn silent with unconscious light.
So modest ease in beauty shines most bright,
Unaiming charms with edge resistless fall,
And she who means no mischief does it all.
