Time, like a flurry of wild rain,
Shall drift across the darkened pane!

More quotes by Charles G. D. Roberts

O wild, dark flower of woman,
Deep rose of my desire,
An Eastern wizard made you
Of earth and stars and fire.

(Oh, weary, my Dearie, so weary!)
He shuts up the earth, and he opens the skies.
(So hush-a-by, weary my Dearie!)
