What part of the dread eternity  
Are those strange minutes that I gain,  
Mazed with the doubt of love and pain,  
When I thy delicate face may see,  
A little while before farewell?  

What share of the world's yearning-tide  
That flash, when new day bare and white  
Blots out my half-dream's faint delight,  
And there is nothing by my side,  
And well remembered is farewell?  

What drop in the gray flood of tears  
That time, when the long day toiled through,  
Worn out, shows naught for me to do,  
And nothing worth my labor bears  
The longing of that last farewell?  

What pity from the heavens above,  
What heed from out eternity,  
What word from the swift world for me?  
Speak, heed, and pity, O tender love,  
Who knew'st the days before farewell!
