If they would stop for one minute, but one,

Thought might return from spheres distant and dim;

Thought has forsaken me; I am alone,

With but one consciousness—nothing but him.

We have reach'd the station—the train is left:

What I am doing I know must be done;

I am a creature whose body's bereft

Of all sensations and feelings save one.

I don't think I see the streets and the lights,

Or hear the answers my questions brought;
