I did not raise my eyes to hers,

Although I knew she passed me near:

I said, `Her shadow round me stirs;

It is enough, that she is here,

And that, for once, my way is here.´

I did not look upon her face,

I knew with whom her heart confers;

For more, that moment had no place:

I did not raise my eyes to hers,

I did not look upon her face.

SHE has griffins twain to guard her gate, 
A mastiff-hound to watch her in the hall, 
A page for her train when she walks in state, 
And minstrels and maidens around her to wait, 
And lovers and gallants at beck and call ; 
But ah ! she left her shutter a-jar 
For the cool to climb over the window-bar! 

The griffins grinned in the moonlight green, 
The hound by the grim red embers slept; 
I scraped a chord on my mandoline, 
A chord, pardie, that might ruin a queen! 
And softly a-down the garden I crept; 
And ah ! the song slid thro' the shutter a-jar, 
And the lady leaned over the window-bar!

My dead Love came to me, and said:
  ‘God gives me one hour’s rest
To spend upon the earth with thee:
  How shall we spend it best?’
‘Why, as of old,’ I said, and so
  We quarrell’d as of old.
But when I turn’d to make my peace
  That one short hour was told.

Stand not uttering sedately
Trite oblivious praise above her!
Rather say you saw her lately
Lightly kissing her last lover.
Whisper not, “There is a reason
Why we bring her no white blossom”:
Since the snowy bloom’s in season,
Strow it on her sleeping bosom:
Oh, for it would be a pity
To o’erpraise her or to flout her:
She was wild, and sweet, and witty –
Let’s not say dull things about her.

THE CURTAIN on the grouping dancers falls,
The heaven of color has vanished from our eyes;
Stirred in our seats we wait with vague surmise
What haply comes that pleases or that palls.
Touched on the stand the thrice-struck baton calls,
Once more I watch the unfolding curtain rise,
I hear the exultant violins premise
The well-known tune that thrills me and enthralls.
Then trembling in my joy I see you flash
Before the footlights to the cymbals’ clash,
With laughing lips, swift feet, and brilliant glance,
You, fair as heaven and as a rainbow bright,
You, queen of song and empress of the dance,
Flower of mine eyes, my love, my heart’s delight!

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
