They tell me, was a very miracle

Of fellow-feeling and communion.

They tell me that we would not be alone,—

We cried when we were parted; when I wept,

Her smile lit up the rainbow on my tears,

Stay'd on the clouds of sorrow; that we loved

The sound of one another's voices more

Than the grey cuckoo loves his name, and learn'd

To lisp in tune together; that we slept

In the same cradle always, face to face,
