VI

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of The Miller's Daughter

I often heard the cooing dove

In firry woodlands mour alone,

But ere I saw your eyes, my love,

I had no motion of my own:

For scarce my life with fancy played,

Before I dreamed that pleasant dream,

Still hither, thither, idly swayed,

Like the long mosses in the stream.
