Dorothy.

Topics: classic

Dear little Dorothy, she is no more!     I have wandered world-wide, from shore to shore,     I have seen as great beauties as ever were wed;     But none can console me for Dorothy dead.     Dear little Dorothy! How strange it seems     That her face is less real than the faces of dreams;     That the love which kept true, and the lips which so spoke,     Are more lost than my heart, which died not when it broke!
