Time may not "wear thy heart-stamp'd form away"
Metaphor in Context
O yes! I cried; no change of place,
Nor favouring fortune's better day,
Can e'er erase thy lovely face,
Or wear thy heart-stamp'd form away.
Though mountains rise, and oceans roar,
They'll prove but feeble bars to me;
In soul I'll seek my native shore,
And wander every-where with thee.
Nor favouring fortune's better day,
Can e'er erase thy lovely face,
Or wear thy heart-stamp'd form away.
Though mountains rise, and oceans roar,
They'll prove but feeble bars to me;
In soul I'll seek my native shore,
And wander every-where with thee.
