Songs of Passion and Pain (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Songs of Passion and Pain What a soul did Dream. Ah, wake I beside you here, love! God's grace! Kiss me on either cheek warm from all love; Take you my hand in yours, that I may know I am full human still. Yet be I dead? Or mad? Far better mad than dead to you, Methinks. Such misery as I have known, These hours most silent just agone: a breath But in Time's mouth, yet ages long to me. Such dreams I had, the night fled as few know. I dreamt I lay vair dead here in this bed Whereon we lie; stretched cold and milk-white all, Rigid in every limb, more motionless Than jasmine in the breathless nights of June. Cloudlike my hair down on my bosom hung, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
