SHE and I--we kissed and vowed br That should be which could not be; br Just as if mere vows endowed br Love with immortality! br Ah, had vows but kept us true, br As we thought them sure to do! br br She and I--such tiny parts br Of the Evolution-plan-- br Yet can hold within our hearts br All the misery of man: br All the ages did prepare, br All we are and all we bear.
