Love's Old Sweet Song: A Sheaf of Latter-Day Love-Poems Garnered From Many Sources (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Love's Old Sweet Song: A Sheaf of Latter-Day Love-Poems Garnered From Many Sources
Envoy.
Resound, ye strains, attuned by master-fingers,
That breathe so fondly Love's consuming fire;
Some sweet and subtle as a chord that lingers,
Some grave and plaintive as the heart's desire.
Like June's gay laughter thro' the woodlands ringing,
These hymn the Present's gladsome roundelay;
As Autumn grieves when choirs have ceased their singing,
Those voice their haunting burden, "Well-a-day!"
Yet, past or present, who the power would banish
That charms or brights, that blesses or that mars;
To happy lovers, how many Love e'er vanish, -
To hearts forlorn, how hallowed are his scars!
