Experience is bitter, but its teachings we retain; It has taught me this--who once has loved, loves never on earth again!


Drift: A Sea-shore Idyl : and Other Poems (ed. 1866)


Experience is bitter, but its teachings we retain; It has taught me this--who once has loved, loves never on earth again!

Experience is bitter, but its teachings we retain; It has taught me this--who once has loved, loves never on earth again!

Experience is bitter, but its teachings we retain; It has taught me this--who once has loved, loves never on earth again!

Experience is bitter, but its teachings we retain; It has taught me this--who once has loved, loves never on earth again!
