Thou hast been called, O sleep! the friend of woe;
But ’tis the happy that have called thee so.
The Curse of Kehama (1810)
Curses are like young chickens, they always come home to roost.
The Curse of Kehama (1810)
They sin who tell us love can die;
With life all other passions fly,
All others are but vanity.
. . . . .
Love is indestructible,
Its holy flame forever burneth;
From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
. . . . .
It soweth here with toil and care,
But the harvest-time of love is there.
The Curse of Kehama (1810)
Oh, when a mother meets on high
The babe she lost in infancy,
Hath she not then for pains and fears,
The day of woe, the watchful night,
For all her sorrow, all her tears,
An over-payment of delight?
The Curse of Kehama (1810)
