The Rover

Topics: classic

That it be love, I dare not say,         I only know when he's away,         Dark as the night, so dark the day.         But still he'll rove, and still I'll try         Some light to see in yon grim sky.         For I will prove if power there be         To lead him through the night to me         In that soul-star, - fair Constancy.
