'How long, dear Heart, how long must we repine?
How many a day goes idly, vacant by,
Which should have link'd our souls in bonds divine,
Which should complete the life for which we sigh
For what were all the bliss beneath the sky
If we might never, heart on heart, bestow
The impassion'd peace that only lovers know?
