A boat at midnight sent alone
To drift upon the moonless sea,
A lute, whose leading chord is gone,
A wounded bird, that hath but one
Imperfect wing to soar upon,
Are like what I am, without thee. - Thomas Moore. View more images...

But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets,
The same look which she turn'd when he rose. - Thomas Moore. View more images...

"Tell me, what's Love;" said Youth, one day,
To drooping Age, who crost his way.—
"It is a sunny hour of play;
For which repentance dear doth pay;
Repentance! Repentance!
And this is Love, as wise men say." - Thomas Moore. View more images...
