Won't you help support DayPoems? Love and MusicBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905I gazed upon my love while music smote The soft night air into glad harmony; Lapt on the ripples of a silver sea, I heard the bright tones rapturous dance and float. Hearing and sight were wed; each flattering note Meant some perfection of my love to me. Caressed by music, it was bliss to see Her form, white-robed, the jewel at her throat, Her glimmering hands, her dusky, perfumed hair, Her low, clear brow, her deep, proud, dreaming eyes, Bent kindly upon me, her worshiper; The dulcet, delicate sounds that shook the air- As if love's joy rained from the starlit skies Seemed all sweet, inarticulate thoughts of her.
