Explore "A Parting" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
SO good-bye! / This is where we end it, you and I.
Life's to live, you know, and death's to die; / So good-bye!
I was yours / For the love in life that loves while life endures, / For the earth-path that the Heaven-flight ensures / I was yours.
You were mine / For the moment that a garland takes to twine, / For the human hour that sorcery shews divine / You were mine.
All is over.
You and I no more are love and lover; / Nought's to seek now, gain, attain, discover.
All is over.
