For him delicious flavors dwell
In books as in old Muscatel.

More quotes by Frank Dempster Sherman

And in the evening, everywhere
Along the roadside, up and down,
I see the golden torches flare
Like lighted street-lamps in the town.

Song like a rose should be;
Each rhyme a petal sweet;
For fragrance, melody,
That when her lips repeat
The words, her heart may know
What secret makes them so:—
Love, only Love!
