WE parted at noontide, I met her at night,
(How the inner world mocks at the outer!)
'T was day in her presence, that spirit of light,
'T will be more than midnight without her.
We met amid tears, amid laughter to part,
(How the inner world mocks at the outer!)
Those tears were Hope's baptism sweet to my heart,
That mirth but betrayed me to doubt her.
In summer we parted, in winter we met,
(How the inner world mocks at the outer!)
December was lit by those star-eyes of jet,
July bound the death-shroud about her.
