Quotes



The sweet of bitter bark
And burning clove.
Love at the lips was touch
As sweet as I could bear;
And once that seemed too much;
I lived on air.
Now no joy but lacks salt
That is not dashed with pain
And weariness and fault;
I crave the stain

Of tears, the aftermark
Of almost too much love,
The sweet of bitter bark
And burning clove.
