    THE MILLER'S DAUGHTER

    by: Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)

    T 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.
