THE PARTING-GATE - ZaunköniG - 29.12.2010 THE PARTING-GATE In that old beech-walk, now bestrewn with mast, And roaring loud—they linger'd long and late ; Harsh was the clang of the last homeward gate That latch'd itself behind them, as they pass'd — Then kiss'd and parted. Soon her funeral knell Toll'd from a foreign clime ; he did not talk Nor weep, but shudder'd at that stern farewell ; 'Twas the last gate in all their lovers'-walk Without the kiss beyond it I Was it good To leave him thus, alone with his sad mood, In that dear footpath, haunted by her smile ? Where they had laugh'd and loiter'd, sat and stood ? Alone in life ! alone in Moreham wood ! Through all that sweet, forsaken, forest-mile ! |
