WHEN we as strangers soughtA
Their catering careB
Veiled smiles bespoke their thoughtA
Of what we wereC
They warmed as they opinedD
Us more than friendsE
That we had all resignedD
For love's dear endsE
-
And that swift sympathyF
With living loveG
Which quicks the world maybeF
The spheres aboveG
Made them our ministersH
Moved them to sayI
Ah God that bliss like theirsJ
Would flush our dayI
-
And we were left aloneK
As Love's own pairB
Yet never the love light shoneK
Between us thereB
But that which chilled the breathL
Of afternoonM
And palsied unto deathL
The pane fly's tuneM
-
The kiss their zeal foretoldN
And now deemed comeO
Came not within his holdN
Love lingered numbO
Why cast he on our portP
A bloom not oursH
Why shaped us for his sportP
In after hoursH
-
As we seemed we were notQ
That day afarR
And now we seem not whatS
We aching areR
O severing sea and landT
O laws of menU
Ere death once let us standT
As we stood thenU
