PARTING AFTER PARTING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Never to part more
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Farewell; Reunions; Togetherness


Parting after parting.
Sore loss and gnawing pain:
Meeting grows half a sorrow
Because of parting again.
When shall the day break
That these things shall not be?
When shall new earth be ours
Without a sea,
And time that is not time
But eternity?

To meet, worth living for;
Worth dying for, to meet;
To meet, worth parting for,
Bitter forgot in sweet:
To meet, worth parting before,
Never to part more.
