O HAPPY HEART!, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beloved - o adorable and false
Last Line: O happy heart on which your heart is laid!
Subject(s): Hearts


Beloved -- O adorable and false,
Whom have you taken now in the dear toils!

By what pale margins do your footsteps stray,
Or what enchanted wood? What valleys hold
The lily of your loveliness? What hills
Have known your weight upon them, what far shore?

Twilight comes tenderly, while evening lifts
Along the pallid rim her lonely star --

O happy heart on which your heart is laid!
