Love
Wealth and Womanhood
From The Poetical Works of Leigh Hunt (1857)
Love
Have you seen an heiress
In her jewels mounted.
Till her wealth and she seem'd one,
And she might be counted ?
Have you seen a bosom
With one rose betwixt it ?
And did you mark the grateful blush,
While the bridegroom fix'd it ?
