English Poetry. George MacDonald. Winter Song. Джордж Макдональд.

George MacDonald (Джордж Макдональд)

Winter Song

They were parted then at last?
Was it duty, or force, or fate?
Or did a worldly blast
Blow-to the meeting-gate?

An old, short story is this!
A glance, a trembling, a sigh,
A gaze in the eyes, a kiss-
Why will it not go by!
