First Line: Oh years sunk mutely in the abyss
Last Line: "no costlier good than love can pay."
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Love; Time
OH years sunk mutely in the abyss,
Vocal at last, I hear you say,
"Our days were stepping stones to this,
Through floods of chance that washed away
No rarer thing than love that is,—
No costlier good than love can pay."
