Additional quotes by Charles Wolfe

Yet there was round thee such a dawn Of light, ne’er seen before,
As fancy never could have drawn, And never can restore.

Slowly and sadly we laid him down, From the field of his fame fresh and gory;
We carved not a line, and we raised not a stone, But we left him alone with his glory.

But he lay like a warrior taking his rest, With his martial cloak around him.

If I had thought thou couldst have died, I might not weep for thee; But I forgot, when by thy side, That thou couldst mortal be. - Charles Wolfe
