 | The poems of Thomas Bailey Aldrich |  |
October 7, 1894
“His absence will be shadow here”—A deeper shadow than I meant
297
And with my lightsome verses blent.
Another voyage was to be!—
The ship that bears him now from shore,
To plough an unknown, chartless sea,
Shall bring him back to us no more!
