Elizabeth Barrett-Browning (Элизабет Барретт-Браунинг)

Sonnets from the portuguese. 31. Thou comest! all is said without a word

Thou comest! all is said without a word.
I sit beneath thy looks, as children do
In the noon-sun, with souls that tremble through
Their happy eyelids from an unaverred
Yet prodigal inward joy.  Behold, I erred
In that last doubt! and yet I cannot rue
The sin most, but the occasion—that we two
Should for a moment stand unministered
By a mutual presence.  Ah, keep near and close,
Thou dove-like help! and when my fears would rise,
With thy broad heart serenely interpose:
Brood down with thy divine sufficiencies
These thoughts which tremble when bereft of those,
Like callow birds left desert to the skies.

1. Sonnets from the Portuguese. 11. And therefore if to love can be desert
2. Aurora Leigh. Fifth Book
3. Sonnets from the Portuguese. 41. I thank all who have loved me in their hearts
4. To Flush, My Dog
5. Sonnets from the Portuguese. 38. First time he kissed me, he but only kissed
