Versos English Thomas Winthrop Hall Theft.

English poem

Theft.

by (1862–1900)

Listen in the reader

The moonlight steals around the pine; Star-eyes steal radiance from thine.

Low music steals upon the ear; Can there be theft when thou art near?

I steel my heart for fear of this,— I steel my heart and steal a kiss.

I'd steal the sacramental wine If it were sweet as kiss of thine!
