AFTER PARTING by E. B. CROSSWHITE

First Line: ALTHOUGH THE HOUSE WHICH ONCE FELT YOUR CARESS
Last Line: AND LONELINESS, FILLING EVERY ROOM...
Subject(s): SOLITUDE; LONELINESS;

Although the house which once felt your caress
Is silent now, its windows sad and blind,
More poignant, far, than aching emptiness
Are things that you in passing left behind:
The Shelley on the table by your bed...
Your window flowers that are soon to bloom...
An imprint, on a pillow, of your head...
And Loneliness, filling every room...
