Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume III/Lost Love
LOST LOVE
CHAPTER IX.
A SCENE BY MOONLIGHT,
Thou canst not restore me
The depth and the truth
Of the love that came o'er me
In earliest youth.
Their gloss is departed,
Their magic is flown;
And sad, and faint-hearted,
I wander alone.
Not in Blanchard
