Partings

Elizabeth Gibson Cheyne

IF I leave you without a word,

It is not that I do not love you;

But that life’s love depths are stirred

By the shadow of God above you.

If I leave you without a sign,

It is not that my heart is colder,

But that you are now more mine

Through love grown wiser and older.
