WONDER not much, if thus amaz'd I look; Since I saw you, I have been planet-strook: A beauty, and so rare, I did descry, As, should I set her forth, you all, as I, Would lose your hearts; for he that can Know her and live, he must be more than man--- An apparition of so sweet a creature, That, credit me, she had not any feature That did not speak her angel. But no more Such heavenly things as these we must adore, Nor prattle of; lest, when we do but touch, Or strive to know, we wrong her too too much. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOST WAR-SLOOP by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR SMOKE IN WINTER by HENRY DAVID THOREAU SONNET WRITTEN IN THE FALL OF 1914: 2 by GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY THE ELF CHILD by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS PEACE PICTURES by ELIZABETH I.
