Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose,
Flushing his brow, and in his pained heart
Made purple riot.


Stanza 16. - Poems (1820) - The Eve of St. Agnes


Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow, and in his pained heart Made purple riot.

Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow, and in his pained heart Made purple riot.

Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow, and in his pained heart Made purple riot.

Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow, and in his pained heart Made purple riot.
