It is the miller's daughter,
And she is
grown so dear, so dear,
That I would be
the jewel
That trembles in her ear:
For
hid in ringlets day and night,
I'd
touch her neck so warm and white.
And
I would be the girdle
About her dainty, dainty waist,
And
her heart would beat against me,
In sorrow and in rest:
And
I should know if it beat right,
I'd
clasp it round so close and tight.
And
I would be the necklace,
And all day
long to fall and rise
Upon
her balmy bosom,
With her laughter or her sighs:
And I would
lie so light, so light,
I scarce
should be unclasp'd at night.
-Lord
Tennyson
