Yet I feel that I shall stand \n Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore \n Alone upon the threshold of my door \nOf individual life I shall command \nThe uses of my soul, nor lift my hand \n Serenely in the sunshine as before, \n Without the sense of that which I forbore\u2014 \nThy touch upon the palm. The widest land \nDoom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine \n With pulses that beat double. What I do \nAnd what I dream include thee, as the wine \n Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue \nGod for myself, He hears that name of thine, \n And sees within my eyes the tears of two.
