'Ever, evermore the while in a slow silence she kept
smiling, -
While the shining tears ran faster down the blushing of her cheeks;
Then with both her hands enfolding both of his, she softly
told him,
if I say I love thee, ... 'tis the vision only
speaks.'
Softened, quickened to adore her , on his knee he fell before
her- ...'
from 'Crowned and Wedded' by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1840
