Robert Lindley Poet Romanticism

Thou Art Bright Crimson-In Rose Red-Lit Bloom

Thou Art Bright Crimson-In Rose Red-lit Bloom

Thou art bright crimson-in rose red-lit bloom
candles shine to adorn window's full moon
Fragrance of both, rests in thy love's perfume
rare music of romance's most precious tune.

Thy voice sings angel soft, harmonic dreams
taking world worries from defeated souls
Thy glow surpasses lights of fairy queens
soothing as sailing with gentle sea rolls

Immortal thoughts reside within thy breasts
true bounty of thy deeply loving heart
Romantic moonlight, all it manifests
mirrors thy dear face- treasured work of art.

Shall my quest seek greater than thy touch
I shall refuse - that is a boon too much.
