Alfred Noyes

More from Alfred Noyes

• “One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I’m after a prize to-night,
  But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light;
  Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,
  Then look for me by moonlight;
  Watch for me by moonlight;
  I’ll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way!”
