And yet must shudder at the deep abyss
That yawns so horribly betwixt you twain.
And did not hope live on to comfort me,
And tell me love is never overcome
I should lack courage to endure this pain.
Thomas:
Dear sister, thou hast yet to learn the power
Of thought, once it hath gripped a human soul.
This is no case of son opposing sire;
But one thought from another turns away.
