SEPARATION (2) by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TO LEAVE WHAT MOST WE LOVE, IN LONELINESS
Last Line: AH, WHOSE THE WEIGHT OF HEAVIER DISTRESS?
Subject(s): ABSENCE; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;
To leave what most we love, in loneliness,
To know our absence in some heart will make
E'en love itself a sorrow for our sake--
Ah, whose the weight of heavier distress?
