Edgar Allan Poe - Song lyrics

1 I saw thee on thy bridal day— When a burning blush came o'er thee, Though happiness around thee lay, The world all love before thee: 2 And in thine eye a kindling light (Whatever it might be) Was all on Earth my aching sight Of Loveliness could see. 3 That blush, perhaps, was maiden shame— As such it well may pa**— Though its glow hath raised a fiercer flame In the breast of him, alas! 4 Who saw thee on that bridal day, When that deep blush would come o'er thee, Though happiness around thee lay, The world all love before thee.
