| - | |
| But only three in all God's universe | B |
| Have heard this word thou hast said Himself beside | C |
| Thee speaking and me listening and replied | C |
| One of us that was God and laid the curse | B |
| So darkly on my eyelids as to amerce | B |
| My sight from seeing thee that if I had died | C |
| The deathweights placed there would have signified | C |
| Less absolute exclusion 'Nay' is worse | B |
| From God than from all others O my friend | D |
| Men could not part us with their worldly jars | B |
| Nor the seas change us nor the tempests bend | D |
| Our hands would touch for all the mountain bars | B |
| And heaven being rolled between us at the end | D |
| We should but vow the faster for the stars | B |
