To the happy heart of yesterday,
To the love we felt in ages past.

More Quotes from George William Russell:
Your tree of life put forth these flowersIn ages past away:
They had the love in other hours
I give to you to-day.

The ancient ways of love:
But in my heart I built a Paradise,
A nest there for the dove.

Upon the lonely road a child limps by
Skirting the frozen pools: our way is lost:
Our hearts sink utterly.

George William Russell

George William Russell
What is the love of shadowy lips
That know not what they seek or press,
From whom the lure for ever slips
And fails their phantom tenderness?
George William Russell
