Alfred Tennyson - And down I went to fetch my bride: But, Alice,...

And down I went to fetch my bride: But, Alice, you were ill at ease; This dress and that by turns you tried, Too fearful that you should not please.I loved you better for your fears,I knew you could not look but well; And dews, that would have fall'n in tears,I kiss'd away before they fell.
