The Bridegroom To His Bride

Title:     The Bridegroom To His Bride
Author: Jean Ingelow [More Titles by Ingelow]

Fairest fair, best of good,
Too high for hope that stood;
White star of womanhood shining apart
O my liege lady,
And O my one lady,
And O my loved lady, come down to my heart.

Reach me life's wine and gold,
What is man's best all told,
If thou thyself withhold, sweet, from thy throne?
O my liege lady,
And O my loved lady,
And O my heart's lady, come, reign there alone.

[The end]
Jean Ingelow's poem: Bridegroom To His Bride
