Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt. (William Allingham)
Autumn's the mellow time. View quote
William Allingham
Scarcely a tear to shed; Hardly a word to say; The end of a Summer's day; Sweet Love is dead. View quote
William Allingham
Oh, bring again my heart's content, Thou Spirit of the Summer-time! View quote

William Allingham
If any foes of mine are there, I pardon every one: I hope that man and womankind will do the same by me. View quote
William Allingham
No funeral gloom, my dears, when I am gone, corpse-gazing, tears, black raiment, graveyard grimness. Think of me as withdrawn into the dimness, yours still, you mine. Remember all the best of our past moments, and forget the rest; and so to where I wait, come gently on. View quote
William Allingham
Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren't go a-hunting, For fear of little men. (William Allingham)
Mary kept the belt of love, and oh, but she was gay! She danced a jig, she sung a song that took my heart away. View quote
William Allingham

William Allingham
She danced a jig, she sung a song that took my heart away. View quote
