First Line: Her house looked cold from the foggy lea
Last Line: The gloom of severance mine alone.
Subject(s): Absence; Separation; Isolation
HER house looked cold from the foggy lea,
And the square of each window a dull black blur
Where showed no stir:
Yes, her gloom within at the lack of me
Seemed matching mine at the lack of her.
The black squares grew to be squares of light
As the eveshade swathed the house and lawn,
And viols gave tone;
There was glee within. And I found that night
The gloom of severance mine alone.
