A WOMAN SPEAKS ACROSS THE YEARS, by                    
First Line: Wherever you may be in all the world
Last Line: When two have shared so much of loveliness.
Subject(s): Togetherness


Wherever you may be in all the world
This winter night of softly falling snow,
So like the night we went divided ways,
I send this word to you and think you know.

Whatever life and years have done to you,
Whatever life and years have done to me,
Though other greater loves have come to us,
We can never be sundered utterly.

There was too much of beauty that we knew
Together and there was enough of pain;
Two lives that have been bound by these, my dear,
Are never wholly separate lives again.

There was too much we gave each other once,
Beyond our love itself, that stayed to bless
The years that were to be. Some bond endures
When two have shared so much of loveliness.
