Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil: Part VII

by John Keats · 1820 · Love & Romance
So once more he had waked and anguished
A dreary night of love and misery,
If Isabel's quick eye had not been wed
To every symbol on his forehead high;
She saw it waxing very pale and dead,
And straight all flush'd; so, lisped tenderly,
"Lorenzo!--" here she ceas'd her timid quest,
But in her tone and look he read the rest.
