Weeks were passed in painful suspense : the owners...
Sayfa 145 - SHE'S on my heart, she's in my thoughts, At midnight, morn, and noon • December's snow beholds her there, And there, the rose of June. I never breathe her lovely name When wine and mirth go round; But oh, the gentle moonlight air Knows well the silver sound !
