The Happy Husband. A Fragment Annotated

Oft, oft methinks, the while with thee,
&nbspI breathe, as from the heart, thy dear
&nbspAnd dedicated name, I hear
A promise and a mystery,
&nbspA pledge of more than passing life,
&nbspYea, in that very name of Wife!

A pulse of love, that ne'er can sleep!
&nbspA feeling that upbraids the heart
&nbspWith happiness beyond desert,
That gladness half requests to weep!
&nbspNor bless I not the keener sense
&nbspAnd unalarming turbulence

Of transient joys, that ask no sting
&nbspFrom jealous fears, or coy denying;
&nbspBut born beneath Love's brooding wing,
And into tenderness soon dying,
&nbspWheel out their giddy moment, then
&nbspResign the soul to love again;—

A more precipitated vein
&nbspOf notes, that eddy in the flow
&nbspOf smoothest song, they come, they go,
And leave their sweeter understrain,
&nbspIts own sweet self—a love of Thee
&nbspThat seems, yet cannot greater be!
