"LUSCIOUS AND SORROWFUL"
BEAUTIFUL, tender, wasting away for sorrow;
Thus to-day; and how shall it be with thee to-morrow?
Beautiful, tender—what else?
A hope tells.
Thus to-day; and how shall it be with thee to-morrow?
Beautiful, tender—what else?
A hope tells.
Beautiful, tender, keeping the jubilee
In the land of home together, past death and sea;
No more change or death, no more
Salt sea-shore.
In the land of home together, past death and sea;
No more change or death, no more
Salt sea-shore.
