A FRAGMENT.
Oh! Sea, thou art so broad, so broad, That none can compass thee;But my love, my love, is broader still, Sweetheart, for thee.
Oh! Sun, thou art so bright, so bright; That none can face thy flame;But brighter still to me, Sweetheart, is thy name.
Oh! Earth, thou art so beautiful, That poets of thee sing,And minstrels old, thy praise have told, On many a trembling string.
But neither earth nor sun, Nor light of starry skies;E'er shone so beautiful,Sweetheart, as thine eyes.
