ONE circle round our Sun—and o'er— Is perfected, since forth there stray'd In youth a fair Princess, From whom fell liquid drops of love— Love-crystals of her wedding tour. Though griev'd, the fair-form'd gentle maid (Whom God was pleas'd to bless) With modest courage sweetly strove And conquer'd it!—Joy helping her. Those moments sad, Time soon spent out: Her EDWARD, yet afar, Beheld her with bright vision's eye. She wiped away the pearly tear, And tripp'd on deck. Then 'rose a shout For Denmark's shooting star— Resounding thro' the azure sky! Silently sped the ship over the sea: EDWARD beheld his Bride, happy and free. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY ACCUSE ME OF NOT TALKING by HAYDEN CARRUTH ODE, FR.
