Verse For Today
I do not love thee; no, I do not love
thee, And yet when thou art absent 1 am sad, • And envy even the bright blue sky above thee, Whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad. 1 do not love thee; yet thy speaking eyes, With their deep, bright, and most expressive blue, Between me and the midnight heaven arise, Oftener than any eyes I ever knew. 1 know 1 do not love thee; yet, alas! Others will scarcely trust my candid heart; And oft 1 catch them smiling as they pass, Because they see me gazing where thou art. From “ I -Do Not Love Thee.” by Caroline Elizabeth Sarah ' Norton, 1808-1876.
