First Line: O strange devices that alone divide
Last Line: Can only see.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter


O strange devices that alone divide
The seer from the seen --
The very highway of earth's pomp and pride
That lies between
The traveller and the cheating, sweet delight
Of where he longs to be,
But which, bound hand and foot, he, close on night,
Can only see.
