47
FROM PARADISE.
All else that in the limit lies
Of fleeting time, I see:
The glance, Belovèd, of thine eyes
Alone is lost to me.
Of fleeting time, I see:
The glance, Belovèd, of thine eyes
Alone is lost to me.
And in the self-same interval,
The ever-changing place
Of light's horizon-line is all
That meets thy lonely gaze.
The ever-changing place
Of light's horizon-line is all
That meets thy lonely gaze.
Behold the glimmer of a tear,
The twinkle of a star—
The shadow and the light how near!
And yet, alas, how far!
The twinkle of a star—
The shadow and the light how near!
And yet, alas, how far!
