J. Augustine Wade Quotes

“T were vain to tell thee all I feel,
Or say for thee I'd die.
Ah, well-a-day, the sweetest melody
Could never, never say, one half my love for thee.”

J. Augustine Wade

T were vain to tell, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“Meet me by moonlight alone,
And then I will tell you a tale
Must be told by the moonlight alone,
In the grove at the end of the vale!
You must promise to come, for I said
I would show the night-flowers their queen.
Nay, turn not away that sweet head,
'T is the loveliest ever was seen.”

J. Augustine Wade

Meet me by Moonlight, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
