Robert Bridges Quote

I have loved flowers that fade,
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents:
A honeymoon delight,
A joy of love at sight,
That ages in an hour
My song be like a flower!

Bk. II, No. 13, I Have Loved Flowers That Fade, st. 1 (1879). - Shorter Poems (1879-1893)
