Language IS MY AFFECTION RETURNED? 
LADY, there be many things 
That seem right fair above ; 
But sure not one among them all 
Is half so sweet as love : 
Let us not pay our vows alone, 
But join two altars into one. 
O. W. Holmes. 
And canst thou not accord thy heart 
In unison with mine ? 
AVhose language thou alone hast heard 
Thou only canst divine. 
EuFus Damtes. 
'Twas then the blush suffused her cheek, 
Which told what words could never speak ; 
The answer's written deeply now 
On this warm cheek and glowing brow. 
L. M. Davidson. 
And had he not long read 
The heart's hushed secret, in the soft dark eye 
Lighted at his approach, and on the cheek. 
Coloring all crimson at his lightest look ? 
L. E, Landox.
