First Line: When two who love are parted
Last Line: Came later—and to me.
Subject(s): Absence; Love; Separation; Isolation
WHEN two who love are parted,
They talk, as friend to friend,
Clasp hands and weep a little,
And sigh without an end.
We did not weep, my darling,
Not sigh "Why must this be ..."
The tears, the sighs, the anguish
Came later—and to me.
