AS TWO FAIR VESSELS SIDE BY SIDE by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY

Last Line: AND THIS IS HATE %WE CRIED



AS two fair vessels side by side,
No bond had tied
Our floating peace ;
We thought that it would never cease,
But like swan-creatures we should always glide :
And this is love
We sighed.
As two grim vessels side by side,
#NAME?
War grappled us,
With bond as strong as death, and thus
We drove on mortally allied :
And this is hate
We cried.
