Anna Letitia Barbauld Quotes About Giving

Quotes about: Giving

• Life! we've been long together
  Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
  Tis hard to part when friends are dear,-
  Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear.
  Then steal away, give little warning.
  Choose thine own time,
  Say not "Good-night," but in some brighter clime,
  Bid me "Good-morning."
