[I toiled on, but thou]

I toiled on, but thou
Wast weary of the way,
And so we parted: now
Who shall say
Which is happier—I or thou?
I am weary now
On the solitary way:
But art thou rested, thou?

346

Who shall say
Which of us is calmer now?
Still my heart's love, thou,
In thy secret way,
Art still remembered now:
Who shall say—
Still rememberest thou?
