<h2> TOO SOON AWAY </h2>
<p>Have I then found thee but to lose thee, friend?<br/>
But touched thee ere thou vanished from my gaze?<br/>
And when my soul is struggling from the maze<br/>
Of many conflicts, must our converse end?<br/>
<br/>
Across the empty space that now shall spread<br/>
Between us, shall I never go to thee?<br/>
Or thou, beloved, never come to me,<br/>
Save but to whisper prayers above the dead?<br/>
<br/>
Ah, cruel thought! Shall not Hope’s convoy bear<br/>
To thee the reinforcements of my love?<br/>
Shall I not on thy white hand drop a tear<br/>
<br/>
Of crowned joy, one day, where thou dost move<br/>
In thy place regally; even as now<br/>
I place my farewell token on thy brow?<br/></p>
