Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Odes Of Anacreon - Ode LXXIII. by Thomas Moore Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Awhile I bloomed, a happy flower,
Till love approached one fatal hour,
And made my tender branches feel
The wounds of his avenging steel.
Then lost I fell, like some poor willow
That falls across the wintry billow!
