Robert Southey Quotes About Heaven

Quotes about: Heaven

• They sin who tell us love can die; With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth; From heaven it came, to heaven returneth. It soweth here with toil and care, But the harvest-time of love is there.

How beautiful is night!
