For nothing can true lovers' souls divide: Not distance, pain, nor solitude, nor strife, Nor all the fretting cares of daily life, Nor thundering seas, nor sunstruck deserts wide. Breathe but a wish for me: I'm at thy side! If I desire thee, lo! thou art "quite close" In spirit, shielding me from myriad foes; My guardian, and mine holy spirit-bride. So is it ever. We are never far One from the other: never say "Good-bye". One blue arch reaches us of kindred sky; We both behold at night the self-same star;— Both struggle upward bravely towards the high Clear sphere where the eternal spirits are. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY MOTHER by EDGAR ALLAN POE A SUMMER SUMMARY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS SONG: 6 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD IN VINCULIS; SONNETS WRITTEN IN AN IRISH PRISON: FAREWELL DARK by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT TO K.
