If there be change, no change I see:
I only walk our wonted road,
The road is only walk’d by me.
Was it of that you bade me tell?
I catch at times, at times I miss
The sight, the tone, I know so well.
Two shortest months! then tell me why
Voices are harsher than they were,
And tears are longer ere they dry.
