SUNDERED by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THOU SLEEPEST SOUND, AND I
Last Line: TO BLOT OUT ALL BUT ME.

Thou sleepest sound, and I
Anear thee lie,
Yet worlds apart:
Thou in the light of dreams;
I, where the midnight seems --
An ashen sea --
From this my world and that wherein thou art
To blot out all but me.
