First Line: From the drear wastes of unfulfilled desire Last Line: And on the cold hearth break the empty glass. Alternate Author Name(s): Collyer, Thomas Stephens
FROM the drear wastes of unfulfilled desire, We harvest dreams that never come to pass, Then pour our wine amid the dying fire, And on the cold hearth break the empty glass.
