What will this matter, dear, when you and I / Have left our sad world for some fairer sky?
What will it matter, dear, when, far apart, / We miss the touch of hand and beat of heart; / When one's at peace, while unto one is given / With lonely feet to walk the hills at even?
What will it matter that one fault more now / Brings clouds upon one eager mortal brow, / That one grace less is given to one poor soul, / When both drink from the last immortal bowl?
For fault and grace, dear love, when we go hence / Will find the same Eternal recompense.
