[Poems by Wilde in] Richard Henry Wilde | ||
Then tell me!—since I've found on earth
Not one pure stream to slake this thirst
Which still torments us from our birth
And in our heart and soul is nurst
This hopeless wish wherewith we're curst,
Whence came it, and why was it given?
Thou speak'st not!—Let me know the worst
Thou pointest!—and it is to Heaven!
Not one pure stream to slake this thirst
Which still torments us from our birth
And in our heart and soul is nurst
This hopeless wish wherewith we're curst,
Whence came it, and why was it given?
Thou speak'st not!—Let me know the worst
Thou pointest!—and it is to Heaven!
