ABSENCE
1
Not in my life, but yours, I live;And from myself I seem to be
As far away, dear fugitive,
As you are far from me.
2
Unlit by you, no light have I,A fainting lamp that's fed by none!
The earth seems left without a sky,
The sky without a sun.

3
Come back! come back! And with you bringAll that with you is gone away,
Warmth, light, life, love, and everything
That stays but where you stay!
