Alfred, Lord Tennyson Quote

It is the little rift within the lute,
That by and by will make the music mute,
And ever widening slowly silence all.


Idylls of the King 'Merlin and Vivien' (1859) l. 388


It is the little rift within the lute, That by and by will make the music mute, And ever widening slowly silence all.

It is the little rift within the lute, That by and by will make the music mute, And ever widening slowly silence all.

It is the little rift within the lute, That by and by will make the music mute, And ever widening slowly silence all.

It is the little rift within the lute, That by and by will make the music mute, And ever widening slowly silence all.
