Thomas Lovell Beddoes Heart Poems

IF thou wilt ease thine heart
Of love and all its smart,
Then sleep, dear, sleep;
And not a sorrow

And in that rosy rosy hour,
When bird sang out and scented flower,
Came words to me from heaven above:
'Awake, young heart, awake and love!'

The charms of Henry's eyes I see;
But while I gaze, I something want,
I want those eyes -- to gaze on me.

Get out of my bones, you wormy souls.
Shut up my stomach, the ribs are full;
Muscles be steady and ready to pull.

We tossâ??d about the flowers
And wreathâ??d the blushing hours
Into a posy green and sweet.
