And felt the sun burning down into my very bones,
And knew suddenly, with a terrible aching certainty
That it was so.
And felt the sun burning down into my very bones,
And knew suddenly, with a terrible aching certainty
That it was so.
"Love is beautiful, and love will die ..."
Said my heart, and even the dark earth
