Thomas Moore - Quantum Est Quod Desit
Work rating: Medium

`Twas a new feeling - something more
Than we had dar`d to own before,
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each other`s eye,
And wish`d in every broken sigh
To speak, but did not!

She felt my lips` impassion`d touch;
`Twas the first time I dar`d so much,
And yet, she chid not;
But whisper`d o`er my burning brow,
`Oh! do you doubt I love you now?`
Sweet soul! I did not!

Warmly I felt her bosom thrill,
I prest it closer, closer still,
Though gently bid not;
Till - oh! the world hath seldom heard
Of lovers, who so nearly err`d,
And yet who - did not!
