Love
The Return Home, 70
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Pictures of Travel: The Return Home (1823-24)
Love
We travelled alone in the gloomy
Post-chaise the whole of the night;
Each lean’d on the other’s bosom,
And jested with hearts so light.
When morning dawn’d upon us,
My child, how we did stare,
For the blind passenger, Amor,
Was sitting between us there!
