Last Line: I shall return with love enough to last a year.
Alternate Author Name(s): Woods, Mrs. Margaret Louisa Bradley
Subject(s): Desire; Hearts; Love
After the Arabic
Lend me thy wings, O dove,
But for a day,
And I will fly away,
Fly to my love.
Fearst thou I shall delay?
Ah no! thou needst not fear,
Because though I should stay
But for a moment's space,
To look upon his face,
I shall return with love enough to last a year.
