PAIN AND TIME STRIVE NOT

What part of the dread eternity

Are those strange minutes that I gain,

Mazed with the doubt of love and pain,

When I thy delicate face may see,

A little while before farewell?

What share of the world's yearning-tide

That flash, when new day bare and white

Blots out my half-dream's faint delight,

And there is nothing by my side,
