On the horizon is a star, Its earliest, loveliest one by far ; A blush is yet upon the sky, As if too beautiful to die,- A last gleam of the setting sun, Like hope when love has just begun . (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

On the horizon is a star, Its earliest, loveliest one by far ; A blush is yet upon the sky, As if too beautiful to die,- A last gleam of the setting sun, Like hope when love has just begun .

Walter Scott
Is it, in Heav'n, a crime to love too well To bear too tender, or too firm a heart To act a lover's or a Roman's part Is there no bright reversion in the sky, For those who greatly think, or bravely die. View quote
