DISAPPOINTMENT; QUATRAIN by THOMAS STEPHENS COLLIER

First Line: FROM THE DREAR WASTES OF UNFULFILLED DESIRE
Last Line: AND ON THE COLD HEARTH BREAK THE EMPTY GLASS.

FROM the drear wastes of unfulfilled desire,
We harvest dreams that never come to pass,
Then pour our wine amid the dying fire,
And on the cold hearth break the empty glass.
