THE CAPTIVES by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: APART FOREVER DWELT THE TWAIN
Last Line: BUT SOUL TO SOUL AND HEART TO HEART.
Subject(s): TOGETHERNESS;

APART forever dwelt the twain,
Save for one oft-repeated strain
Wherein what Love alone could say
They learned and lavished day by day.

Strangers in all but misery
And music's hope-sustaining tie,
They lived and loved and died apart,
But soul to soul and heart to heart.
