Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Three Shadows
Work rating: Low

I LOOKED and saw your eyes 
In the shadow of your hair, 
As a traveller sees the stream 
In the shadow of the wood; 
And I said, “My faint heart sighs, 
Ah me! to linger there, 
To drink deep and to dream 
In that sweet solitude.”
I looked and saw your heart 
In the shadow of your eyes, 
As a seeker sees the gold 
In the shadow of the stream; 
And I said, “Ah me! what art 
Should win the immortal prize, 
Whose want must make life cold 
And Heaven a hollow dream?”
I looked and saw your love 
In the shadow of your heart, 
As a diver sees the pearl 
In the shadow of the sea; 
And I murmured, not above 
My breath, but all apart,— 
“Ah! you can love, true girl, 
And is your love for me?”
