Chapter 6

 Go from me.  Yet I feel that I shall stand

Henceforward in thy shadow.  Nevermore

Alone upon the threshold¹ of my door

Of individual life, I shall command

The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand

Serenely² in the sunshine as before,

Without the sense of that which I forbore—

Thy touch upon the palm.  The widest land

Doom³ takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine

With pulses that beat double.  What I do

And what I dream include thee, as the wine

Must taste of its own grapes.  And when I sue⁴

God for myself, He hears that name of thine,

And sees within my eyes the tears of two.
