J. Comyns Carr: Stray Memories, by His Wife

by Alice Vansittart Strettel Carr

For that’s Love’s way!

Both.

O Love that came but yester eve,

If thou wilt go before to-morrow,

Then prithee go, but do not leave

My saddened heart to die of sorrow.

If thou wilt hide Love’s laughing eyes,

If we must lose Love’s magic spell,

Then take the burthen of our sighs,

And we will say Farewell! Farewell!
