Wallace Bruce - Juliet to Romeo lyrics

One more fond kiss, my Romeo, and away! The eastern hills are touched with rosy light. Ah love, with thee dun night is brightest day, And brightest day, when thou art gone, is night. How blest the hours swift-borne on starry wheels! How heavy waiting on the laggard sun! A weary void till day her eyelids seals, And Heaven's high warders guard love's fortress won. Dear Romeo, go! Yet I would have thee stay. O pilfering morn, that robs the j**elled skies! Purloining gems within thy mantle gray, Take all, but leave the one dear star I prize. Alas! that love from love should ever part; Yon sunrise brings wan sunset to my heart.
