Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love
But the new love possess'd his life and being,
He might not put it from him for an hour.
Each morn the phantom he would still be fleeing,
Each eve brought nearer the pursuing power.
Ah, wide o'er all the limit of our seeing
Hover the Harpy Wings that life devour!
Canst stifle Love? Let whoso will but try it!
Thrice vain his hope who turns and thinks to fly it!
