So, without overt breach, we fall apart, br Tacitly sunder--neither you nor I br Conscious of one intelligible Why, br And both, from severance, winning equal smart. br So, with resigned and acquiescent heart, br Whene'er your name on some chance lip may lie, br I seem to see an alien shade pass by, br A spirit wherein I have no lot or part. br Thus may a captive, in some fortress grim, br From casual speech betwixt his warders, learn br That June on her triumphant progress goes br Through arched and bannered woodlands; while for him br She is a legend emptied of concern, br And idle is the rumour of the rose.
