Sonnets on Separation VI.

By Edward Shanks

To-morrow I shall see you come again Between the pale trees, through the sullen gate, Out of the dark and secret house of pain Where lie the unhappy and unfortunate. To-morrow you will live with me and love me, Spring will go on again, I'll see the flowers And little things, ridiculous things, shall move me To smiles or tears or verse.The world is ours To-morrow.Open heaths, tall trees, great skies, With massive clouds that fly and come again, Sweet fields, delicious rivers and the rise And fall of swelling land from the swift train We'll see together, knowing that all this Is one great room wherein we two may kiss.
