Mary Darby Robinson - Sonnet X: Dang`rous to Hear
Work rating: Low

Dang`rous to hear, is that melodious tongue,
And fatal to the sense those murd`rous eyes,
Where in a sapphire sheath, Love`s arrow lies,
Himself conceal`d the crystal haunts among!
Oft o`er that form, enamour`d have I hung,
On that smooth cheek to mark the deep`ning dyes,
While from that lip the fragrant breath would rise,
That lip, like Cupid`s bow with rubies strung!
Still let me gaze upon that polish`d brow,
O`er which the golden hair luxuriant plays;
So, on the modest lily`s leaves of snow
The proud Sun revels in resplendent rays!
Warm as his beams this sensate heart shall glow, 
Till life`s last hour, with Phaon`s self decays!
