misdeem

Misdeem, mis-dēm′, v.t. to deem or think wrongly: to make a mistake in judging.

Titanic shapes with faces blank and dun, Of their old godhead lorn, Gaze on the embers of the sunken sun, Which they misdeem for morn; And yet the eternal sorrow In their unmonarched eyes says day is done Without the hope of morrow.

How could I thus misdeem That I should dare to woo thee? sure 'twas an idle dream!

The doubt which ye misdeem, fair love, is vain, That fondly fear to lose your liberty; When, losing one, two liberties ye gain, And make him bound that bondage erst did fly.

Sweet lucent waters of Mondego-stream, Of my Remembrance restful jouïssance, Where far-fet, lingering, traitorous Esperance Long whiles misled me in a blinding Dream: Fro' you I part, yea, still I'll ne'er misdeem That long-drawn Memories which your charms enhance Forbid me changing and, in every chance, E'en as I farther speed I nearer seem.
