First Line: I will not call you when the wind
Last Line: With a low murmur, like the seas?
Subject(s): Absence; Silence; Separation; Isolation
I WILL not call you when the wind
Calls you lamentingly at night;
Nor yet when shadows stealthy and blind
Seek you in vain through the twilight;
These find you not how should I find?—
Where move you now? Your noiseless feet
Tread what haunted terraces,
When the new moon, early and lost
Rises and hears the night wind beat
Among the branches high up-tossed
With a low murmur, like the seas?
