George Linley Quotes

Oft in the tranquil hour of night, When stars illume the sky, I gaze upon each orb of light, And wish that thou wert by.

Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream, And I seek thee in vain by the meadow and stream.

One only hope my heart can cheer, - The hope to meet again.

We gathered the wild-flowers. Yes, life there seem'd one pure delight; As thro' the field we rov'd. Yes, life there seem'd one pure delight.

Ever of thee I'm fondly dreaming, Thy gentle voice my spirit can cheer.
