How does Love speak	A
In the faint flush upon the tell tale cheek	A
And in the pallor that succeeds it by	B
The quivering lid of an averted eye	B
The smile that proves the parent to a sigh	B
Thus doth Love speak	A
	-
How does Love speak	A
By the uneven heart throbs and the freak	A
Of bounding pulses that stand still and ache	C
While new emotions like strange barques make	C
Along vein channels their disturbing course	D
Still as the dawn and with the dawn s swift force	D
Thus doth Love speak	A
	-
How does Love speak	A
In the avoidance of that which we seek	A
The sudden silence and reserve when near	E
The eye that glistens with an unshed tear	F
The joy that seems the counterpart of fear	E
As the alarmed heart leaps in the breast	G
And knows and names the greets its god like guest	G
Thus doth Love speak	A
	-
How doth Love speak	A
In the proud spirit suddenly grown meek	A
The haughty heart grown humble in the tender	H
And unnamed light that floods the world with splendour	H
In the resemblance which the fond eyes trace	I
In all things to one beloved face	I
In the shy touch of hands that thrill and tremble	J
In looks and lips that can no more dissemble	J
Thus doth Love speak	A
	-
How doth Love speak	A
In the wild words that uttered seem so weak	A
They shrink ashamed to silence in the fire	H
Glance strikes with glance swift flashing high and higher	H
Like lightnings that precede the mighty storm	K
In the deep soulful stillness in the warm	K
Impassioned tide that sweeps through throbbing veins	L
Between the shores of keen delights and pains	L
In the embrace where madness melts in bliss	M
And in convulsive rapture of a kiss	M
Thus doth Love speak	A
