Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes
The cypress stood up like a churchThat night we felt our love would hold,And saintly moonlight seemed to searchAnd wash the whole world clean as gold;The olives crystallized the vales'Broad slopes until the hills grew strong:The fireflies and the nightingalesThrobbed each to either, flame and song.The nightingales, the nightingales.
