Chapter XXXIX: Vanquished

Text size

Heart, here are roses burning with the South--
("Fairer was her false mouth")--
Close your tired eyes, the twilight gives you rest--
("Cool was her snowy breast").

Take of the sunshine, nor remember rain--
("Love is a cruel pain")--
Hush! you shall sleep forgetting love's alarms--
("Sleep died in her false arms").
