I Do Not Love Thee
I DO not love thee! No! I do not love thee
And yet when thou art absent I am sad
And envy even the bright blue sky above thee
Whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad
I do not love thee! yet, I know not why
Whate'er thou does seems still well done, to me
And often in my solitude I sigh
That those I do love are not more like thee
I do not love thee! yet when thou art gone
I hate the sound (though those who speak be dear)
Which breaks the lingering echo of the tone
Thy voice of music leaves upon my ear
I do not love thee! yet thy speaking eyes
With their deep, bright and most expressive blue
Between me and the midnight heaven arise
Oftener than any eyes I ever knew
I know I do not love thee! yet, alas
Others will scarcely trust my candid heart
And oft I catch them smiling as they pass
Because they see me gazing where thou art
