When Spring is old, and dewy winds
Blow from the south, with odors sweet,
I see my love, in shadowy groves,
Speed down dark aisles on shining feet.

Love

More quotes by Maurice Thompson

Bubble, bubble, flows the stream
Like an old tune through a dream.

She throws a kiss, and bids me run
In whispers sweet as roses’ breath;
I know I can not win the race,
And at the end, I know, is death.

And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
