Touch us gently, Time! Let us glide adown thy stream
Gently,—as we sometimes glide Through a quiet dream.

Additional quotes by Barry Cornwall

I ’m on the sea! I ’m on the sea!
I am where I would ever be,
With the blue above and the blue below,
And silence wheresoe’er I go.

The sea! the sea! the open sea!
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!

I never was on the dull, tame shore,
But I loved the great sea more and more.

Touch us gently, Time! Let us glide adown thy stream Gently,—as we sometimes glide Through a quiet dream. - Barry Cornwall
