Thy touch, thy deadening touch has steeled the breast, Whence, thro...
Сторінка 68 - And all, combined, with blest effulgence blaze. There thy bright train, immortal Friendship, soar; No more to part, to mingle tears no more! And, as the softening hand of Time endears The joys and sorrows of our...
