How thick the bursts come crowding through the leaves!
Again — thou hearest?
Eternal passion!
Eternal pain!


"Philomela" (1853), st. 3


How thick the bursts come crowding through the leaves! Again — thou hearest? Eternal passion! Eternal pain!

How thick the bursts come crowding through the leaves! Again — thou hearest? Eternal passion! Eternal pain!

How thick the bursts come crowding through the leaves! Again — thou hearest? Eternal passion! Eternal pain!

How thick the bursts come crowding through the leaves! Again — thou hearest? Eternal passion! Eternal pain!
