ABSENCE QUOTES IV

quotations about absence

'Tis said that absence conquers love;
But oh believe it not!
I've tried, alas! its power to prove,
But thou art not forgot.

If you should leave me
I know it would grieve me
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

To think on him that's far away.

And every little absence is an age.

Shortly again, and make our absence sweet.

That must be counted ere I see thy face?
