OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 30, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, sometimes, in the years since then, I too
Last Line: The all-enfolding, deathless love of you!
Subject(s): Absence; Love; Separation; Isolation


Oh, sometimes, in the years since then, I too
Through dangerous and deserted lands have wended,
And many a stark and chasmy steep descended
Which crumbling cataracts shed their vapour through.
But where such lone, mysterious blossom grew
I have not sought to learn, by one more splendid
Along the dimmest verges close attended —
The all-enfolding, deathless love of you!
