A dream

I thought this heart [enkindled]1 lay
On Cupid's burning shrine:
I thought he stole thy heart away,
And placed it near to mine.

I saw thy heart begin to melt,
Like ice before the sun;
Till both a glow congenial felt,
And mingled into one!

by Thomas Moore (1779-1852) , "A dream", from The Poetical Works of the late Thomas Little, Esq., published 1801
