And sparrows sweep the ceiling of our day?...Read more of this...

...ll, yet think not such farewell a change
From tenderness, tho' once to meet or part
But on short absence so could sense derange
That tears have graced the greeting of my heart;
They were proud drops and had my leave to fall,
Not on thy pity for my pain to call.

From noble ancestry is handed on,

And richest heirlooms all to ruin gone;
