SOFT of voice and light of hand As the fairest in the land -- Who can rightly understand My love Annie? Simple in her thoughts and ways, True in every word she says, -- Who shall even dare to praise My love Annie? Midst a naughty world and rude Never in ungentle mood; Never tired of being good -- My love Annie. Hundreds of the wise and great Might o'erlook her meek estate; But on her good angels wait, My love Annie. Many or few of the loves that may Shine upon her silent way, -- God will love her night and day, My love Annie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT by JONATHAN SWIFT FAR - FAR - AWAY (FOR MUSIC) by ALFRED TENNYSON IT'S HARD TO SAY by BERTON BRALEY THE EPSOM DUEL, 1689 by THOMAS (TOM) BROWN RECOLLECTION by AMELIA WALSTIEN JOLLS CARPENTER THE THREE WRENS by PHOEBE CARY |
