What shall it do for you and me?

Shall it be cold and hard alone,

As when a stone doth touch a stone,

Fruitless, unwelcome, and unmeant,

Put by as a dull accident,

While we pass onward, deaf and blind,

With no relenting look behind?

Or as when two round drops of rain,

Let fall upon a window-pane,

Wander, divergent, from their course,
