LXIII.

I will not speak of woe; I may not tell—

Friend tells not such to friends—the thoughts which rent

My fainting spirit, when its wild farewell

Across the billows to thy grave was sent,

Thou, there most lonely! He that sits above,

In his calm glory, will forgive the love

His creatures bear each other, even if blent

With a vain worship; for its close is dim

Ever with grief which leads the wrung soul back to Him!
