| 52. Parting |
| |
| |
| AS from our dream we died away | |
| Far off I felt the outer things; | |
| Your wind-blown tresses round me play, | |
| Your bosom’s gentle murmurings. | |
| |
| And far away our faces met | 5 |
| As on the verge of the vast spheres; | |
| And in the night our cheeks were wet, | |
| I could not say with dew or tears. | |
| |
| As one within the Mother’s heart | |
| In that hushed dream upon the height | 10 |
| We lived, and then we rose to part, | |
| Because her ways are infinite. | |
