First Line: Deep in the forest glades

Subject(s): Life
Deep in the forest glades,
Where leafy welcomes wooed our wandering way,
Once blent our shadows in the dallying shades
That round us lay.
Thenceforth, of fate estranged,
Each day beholds our widowed forms apart:
The word, the glance, the gesture, coldly changed,
As heart to heart.
But cometh night to hide
Life-wrecks, far drifted in the noonday sun,
And lo, our shadows in the sombre tide
Again are one!
