"GO NOT TOO FAR"

Go not too far—too far beyond my gaze,  Thou who canst never pass beyond the yearning Which, even as the dark for dawning stays,  Awaits thy loved returning! Go not too far! Howe'er thy fancies roam,  Let them come back, wide-circling like the swallow, Lest I, for very need, should try to come—  And find I could not follow!
