Whether we've far withdrawn Or come more near Equally the outward form Doth no more appear. Not thou by distance lost No -- for regret doth bind Me faster to thee now Than neighborhood confined. Where thy love followeth me Is enough society. Thy indelible mild eye Is my sky. Whether by land or sea I wander to and fro, Oft as I think of thee The heavens hang more low The pure glance of thy eye Doth purge the summer's sky, And thy breath so rare Doth refine the winter's air. my feet would weary be Ere they travelled from thee. I discover by thy face That we are of one race Flowed in one vein our blood Ere the sea found its flood The worm may be divided And each part become a whole, But the nobler creature man May not separate a span. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHRISTMAS CAROL by JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND AMERICA by SAMUEL FRANCIS SMITH THE ELDER WOMAN'S SONG: 3, FR.
