Estranged.

Topics: classic

Though far apart, my darling, side by side             We wander still and our fond yearnings meet,             As when our hearts with highest raptures beat         Before our footsteps trod the paths of pride;         Our close companionship hath never died;             True love and trust are always fair and sweet,         And time from life's best hopes can never hide             A kindred soul that made its own complete!         So thou, dear one, shall come once more to me,             The sweeter grown for all thy years of pain;         My longing arms shall open wide for thee,             And thou shalt nestle on my breast again;         Then perfect love shall richly crown the years,         And both be better for our griefs and tears.
