Alfred Noyes Quotes

One kiss, my bonny sweetheart; I'm after a prize tonight,But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light.Yet if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,Then look for me by moonlight,Watch for me by moonlight,I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way.
