THOU hast diamonds and pearls of rare beauty, Thou hast all that the heart can admire; Thine eyes shine far brighter than jewels -- What more can my darling desire? On thine eyes, bright as stars of the evening, Have I written and tuned to my lyre Whole volumes of rapturous sonnets -- What more can my darling desire? With thine eyes of unquenchable splendor Hast thou kindled my heart into fire, And forced me to kneel as thy suitor -- What more can my darling desire? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALL'S BLUFF; A REVERIE by HERMAN MELVILLE THE STORM by ANNA A.
