though all the world by alfred austin - ghizela rowe lyrics

though all the world should stand aside
and leave you to your sorrow
and you from none, or near, or wide
a smile or tear could borrow;
i still would stand with arms outspread
in love and trust unshaken
to make a nest for that dear head
by all the rest forsaken

come, let me crouch beside your knees
and we will talk together*
you who have passed o’er stormy seas
and i through tranquil weather
what is to me the shallow scoff
of pert or pious sneerer?
let the base crowd move further off
i only creep the nearer

sweet child! ’tis not your deep blue eyes
nor yet your raven tresses
nor that strange mystic look, more wise
than all your mouth expresses:
’tis not your face, ’tis not your form
your accents bright and clever
which bind me with a strength enorm
and make me yours for ever
and yet, and yet, ’tis all of these
but oh! ’tis something rarer
makes every pleasing grace more please
and each fair charm the fairer
it is because your soul is high
if your affections lowly
that i prostrate myself and sigh
before a shrine too holy

and if fell clouds quenched girlhood’s beam
and cast their shadow o’er it
your l*stre now doth brighter seem
for those dark days before it
like those fair lamps that change by night
their radiance with their motion*
burn low, then fling a flood of light
athwart the murky ocean
