GO from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand | |
Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore | |
Alone upon the threshold of my door | |
Of individual life I shall command | |
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand | 5 |
Serenely in the sunshine as before, | |
Without the sense of that which I forbore— | |
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land | |
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine | |
With pulses that beat double. What I do | 10 |
And what I dream include thee, as the wine | |
Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue | |
God for myself, He hears that name of thine, | |
And sees within my eyes the tears of two. |
