We Never Said Farewell by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge

By Mary Elizabeth Coleridge

Topics: deep-lines

WE never said farewell, nor even looked Our last upon each other, for no sign Was made when we the linkèd chain unhooked And broke the level line. And here we dwell together, side by side, Our places fixed for life upon the chart. Two islands that the roaring seas divide Are not more far apart.
