HE
One decade and a half since first we came / With hearts aflame / Into Love's Paradise, as man and mate; / And now we separate. / Soon, all too soon, / Waned the white splendour of our honeymoon. / We saw it fading; but we did not know / How bleak the path would be when once its glow / Was wholly gone. / And yet we two were forced to follow on- / Leagues, leagues apart while ever side by side.
