Since we through war awhile must partB
Sweetheart and learn to loseC
Daily useD
Of all that satisfied our heartB
Lay up those secrets and those powersE
Wherewith you pleased and cherished me these two yearsF
-
Now we must draw as plants wouldG
On tubers stored in a better seasonH
Our honey and heavenH
Only our love can store such foodI
Is this to make a god of absenceJ
A new born monster to steal our sustenanceJ
-
We cannot quite cast out lack and painK
Let him remain what he may devourL
We can well spareM
He never can tap this the true veinK
I have no words to tell you what you wereL
But when you are sad think Heaven could give no moreN
