by Anne Reeve Aldrich (1866 - 1892)
When the land was white with moonlight
Language: English
When the land was white with moonlight And the air was sweet with May, I was so glad that Love would last For ever and a day, When the land was white with moonlight, And the air was sweet with May. Now the land is white with Winter, And the dead Love laid away, I am so glad Life cannot last For ever and a day.
