SONG (2) by ALFRED TENNYSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: TO SIT BESIDE A CHRYSTAL SPRING
Last Line: IT TELLS ME THAT I THINK OF YOU!

To sit beside a chrystal spring,
Cool'd by the passing zephyr's wing,
And bend my every thought to thee,
Is life, is bliss, is ecstacy!

And as within that spring I trace
Each line, each feature of my face;
The faithful mirror tells me true --
It tells me that I think of you!
