How cruelly sweet are the echoes that start
More quotes by Eliza Cook
Better build school-rooms for "the boy,"
Than cells and gibbets for "the man."
I love it, I love it; and who shall dare
To chide me for loving that old arm-chair?
Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start
When Memory plays an old tune on the heart!
