FRIEND, dear as Memory’s joys! of life that ‘s past
A part, and part of better life to come,
If life to come there be, in some dear home
Beyond the rigid clouds that overcast
Our sundered lives – all that is mine thou hast; –
All thoughts, all sympathies; – though far I roam
From you – by mountains, streams, or ocean’s foam
Divided long – yet ever, first and last,
Our love knows no division. In my soul
And yours, we twin-born spirits of one blood,
Still, as of old, are one. No sea can roll
Between its league-long melancholy flood,
No separate interests, loves, or pressing cares
Disturb the mutual trust our being shares.
(Christopher Pearse Cranch)
