The Words of Lovers
The sweetest words that tongue has said,
Or songs that lips have sung,
Are sad with thoughts of lovers dead,
And many a silent tongue;
Or songs that lips have sung,
Are sad with thoughts of lovers dead,
And many a silent tongue;
Yet faintly tragrant as perfume
Which age on age has lain
In sepulchres of scented gloom,
Now used of men again.
Which age on age has lain
In sepulchres of scented gloom,
Now used of men again.
