XXI.SLEEPLESSNESS.
Sleep will not take the place of Love,Nor keep the place from Sorrow.
Oh, when the long nights slowly move
To meet a lonely morrow,
The burthen of the broken days,
The grief that on the bosom weighs,
And all the heart oppresses,
But lightly lies on restless eyes
Love seals no more with kisses.
| Orval, or The Fool of Time | |
