<b>Song: To--</b>
<i>Edgar Allan Poe</i>

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:

And in thine eyes the kindling light
  Of young passion free
Was all on Earth my chain'd sight
  Of Loveliness might see

That blush, I ween, was maiden shame
  As such it well my pass-
Though its glow hath raised a fiercer flame
  In the breast of him, alas!

Who saw thee on that bridal day
  When that deep blush <i>would</i> come o'er thee
Though happiness around thee lay
  The world all love before thee
