Walter Savage Landor. 17751864558. Rose Aylmer
AH, what avails the sceptred race! | |
Ah, what the form divine! | |
What every virtue, every grace! | |
Rose Aylmer, all were thine. | |
Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes | 5 |
May weep, but never see, | |
A night of memories and sighs | |
I consecrate to thee. |
