SONNET XXIV
DAY BY DAY
As day by day the void doth greater grow
Between thee and the world, 'tween thee and friends;
As life's wide wintry landscape now extends
Before thee, its chill meadows deep with snow;
As, silently, thou pacest to and fro,
Revolving in thy spirit silent ends;
As over thee the eternal azure bends,
Like love's skies stooping o'er thee long ago;
When things are thus,—when thou dost yearn to hear
Some word from thine own country, where the air
Of softest love once lifted thy brown hair,
Some note of recompence, some sound of cheer,—
Remember then that, in Art's sunny lands,
Thou hast for ever one who understands.
1876.
