“LUSCIOUS AND SORROWFUL.”
Beautiful, tender, wasting away for sorrow;
Thus today; and how shall it be with thee tomorrow?
Beautiful, tender—what else?
A hope tells.
Thus today; and how shall it be with thee tomorrow?
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.
