Classic Poem

Think not that from defect of love arise
These anxious questionings, tormenting fears;
Though dim your image in your lover's eyes,
Oh, argue not disloyalty from tears!

No; it is love's excess. The barren moon
With cloudless luster fills a winter night;
While storm-clouds lower all a sultry noon,
Veiling the orb that wrought them by his might.
