ABSENCE.
"Cesser d’exister n'est rien, se quitter est le plus grand des maux,"
“And all the fix'd delights of house and home—
Friendship that cannot break, and love that will not roam.”
I will not say, I fear your absent one
Will be forgotten; but you cannot feel
The darkening thoughts that o'er my spirits steal,
When I remember I am quite alone—
That all I lov'd most fondly, all are gone.
To you that deepest sorrow is unknown:
