Incalculably distant; so, I felt

That consolation may descend from far

(And that is intercourse, and union, too,)

While, overcome with speechless gratitude,

And, with a holier love inspired, I looked

On her—at once superior to my woes

And partner of my loss.—O heavy change!

Dimness o'er this clear luminary crept

Insensibly;—the immortal and divine

Yielded to mortal reflux; her pure glory,
