Suppressed Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson — Sonnet ''There are three things that fill my heart with sighs''

[Published in the _Yorkshire Literary Annual_ for 1832. Edited by C. F.

Edgar, London: Longman and Co. Reprinted in the _Athenæum_, 4 May, 1867. ] There are three things that fill my heart with sighs And steep my soul in laughter (when I view Fair maiden forms moving like melodies), Dimples, roselips, and eyes of any hue.

There are three things beneath the blessed skies For which I live--black eyes, and brown and blue;

I hold them all most dear; but oh!

black eyes, I live and die, and only die for you.

Of late such eyes looked at me--while I mused At sunset, underneath a shadowy plane In old Bayona, nigh the Southern Sea-- From an half-open lattice looked at _me_.

I saw no more only those eyes--confused And dazzled to the heart with glorious pain.
