As though a tongueless nightingale should swell
Her throat in vain, and die, heart-stifled, in her dell.


Stanza 23. - Poems (1820) - The Eve of St. Agnes


As though a tongueless nightingale should swell Her throat in vain, and die, heart-stifled, in her dell.

As though a tongueless nightingale should swell Her throat in vain, and die, heart-stifled, in her dell.

As though a tongueless nightingale should swell Her throat in vain, and die, heart-stifled, in her dell.

As though a tongueless nightingale should swell Her throat in vain, and die, heart-stifled, in her dell.
