Thomas Moore - They Know Not My HeartThomas Moore - They Know Not My Heart
Work rating: Low


They know not my heart, who believe there can be One stain of this earth in its feelings for thee; Who think, while I see thee in beauty`s young hour, As pure as the morning`s first dew on the flower, I could harm what I love, as the sun`s wanton ray But smiles on the dew-drop to waste it away. No beaming with light as those young features are, There`s a light round thy heart which is lovelier far: It is not that cheek `tis the soul dawning clear Through its innocent blush makes thy beauty so dear: As the sky we look up to, though glorious and fair, Is look`d up to the more, because Heaven lies there!
