"I want"it pleadedAll its life
I wantwas chief it said
When Skill entreated itthe last
And when so newly dead
I could not deem it lateto hear
That singlesteadfast sigh
The lips had placed as with a "Please"
Toward Eternity
"I want"it pleadedAll its life
I wantwas chief it said
When Skill entreated itthe last
And when so newly dead
I could not deem it lateto hear
That singlesteadfast sigh
The lips had placed as with a "Please"
Toward Eternity
