First Line: Although the room which once you knew
Last Line: Between an april day and this!
Alternate Author Name(s): Hollowell, William Paul, Mrs.
Subject(s): Absence; Separation; Isolation
Although the room which once you knew
And loved, is silent to your gait,
And knows no more the pungent tang
Your old pipe made as time grew late,
I find a poignant gladness just
To come in here, and sit, and touch
A book you loved, and used to read
To me. We had so very much!
I'll never seek again for peace
Nor know the joy and pain of bliss;
But I have known the heights and depths
Between an April day and this!
