Chapter 110: Recognition of the Signs (of Mutual Love)

1091.
A double witchery have glances of her liquid eye;
One glance is glance that brings me pain; the other heals again.

1092.
The furtive glance, that gleams one instant bright,
Is more than half of love's supreme delight.

1093.
She looked, and looking drooped her head:
On springing shoot of love 'tis water shed!

1094.
I look on her: her eyes are on the ground the while;
I look away: she looks on me with timid smile.

1095.
She seemed to see me not; but yet the maid
Her love, by smiling side-long glance, betrayed.

1096.
Though with their lips affection they disown,
Yet, when they hate us not, 'tis quickly known.

1097.
The slighting words that anger feign, while eyes their love reveal,
Are signs of those that love, but would their love conceal.

1098.
I gaze, the tender maid relents the while;
And, oh the matchless grace of that soft smile!

1099.
The look indifferent, that would its love disguise,
Is only read aright by lovers' eyes.

1100.
When eye to answering eye reveals the tale of love,
All words that lips can say must useless prove.
