Today's Poem

I'm sorry it's so late. I had a very busy day today.

Song
by Edgar Allen Poe

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 eye a kindling light
(Whatever it might be)
Was all on Earth my aching sight
Of Loveliness could see.

That blush, perhaps, was maiden shame-
As such it well may 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 would come o'er thee,
Though happiness around thee lay;
The world all love before thee.

I like this poem because when people think of Poe, they usually think
of his horror and macabre type of things, but he actually has a lighter
side and that can be seen in a lot of his poems that are less famous than
poems like Lenore and The Raven. Enjoy!
