IN ABSENCE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: ALL THAT THOU ART NOT, MAKES NOT UP THE SUM
Last Line: ALL VISION, IN THINE ABSENCE, VACANCY.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;

All that thou art not, makes not up the sum
Of what thou art, beloved, unto me;
All other voices, wanting thine, are dumb;
All vision, in thine absence, vacancy.
