    <strong>A Womans Shortings</strong>

    She has laughed as softly as if she sighed,

    She has ted six, and over,

    Of a purse wel<kbd>.99lib.</kbd>l filled, and a heart well tried -

    Oh, each a worthy lover!

    The<dfn></dfn>y &quot;give her time&quot;; for her soul must slip

    Where the world has set the grooving;

    She will lie to h her fair red lip:

    But love seeks truer loving.

    She trembles her fan in a sweetness dumb,

    As her thoughts were beyond recalling;

    With a glance for one, and a glance for some,

    From her eyelids rising and falling;

    Speaks on words with a blushful air,

    Hears bold words, unreproving;

    But her silence says - what she never will swear -

    And love seeks better loving.

    Go, lady! lean to the night-guitar,

    And drop a sm<bdi>99lib?</bdi>ile to the bringer;

    Then smile as sweetly, when he is far,

    At the voice of an in-door singer.

    Bask tenderly beh tender eyes;

    Glance lightly, on their removing<strike></strike>;

    And join new vows to old perjuries -

    But dare not call it loving!

    Unless you  think, when the song is done,

    No other is soft in the rhythm;

    Unless you  feel, whe by One,

    That all men else go with him;

    Unless you  know, when unpraised by his breath,

    That your beauty itself wants proving;

    Unless you  swear &quot;For life, for death!&quot; -

    Oh, fear to call it loving!

    Unless you  muse in a crowd al<strike>九九藏书</strike>l day

    On the absent face that fixed you;

    Unless you  love, as the angels may,

    With the breadth of heavewixt you;

    Unless you  dream that his faith is fast,

    Through behoving and unbehoving;

    Unless you  die when the dream is past -

    Oh, never call it loving!

    <strong>Elizabeth Barrett Browning</strong>
