94

LIVE with him, I see his face;
 * I go no more away

For visitor, or sundown;
 * Death's single privacy,

The only one forestalling mine,
 * And that by right that he

Presents a claim invisible,
 * No wedlock granted me.

I live with him, I hear his voice,
 * I stand alive to-day

To witness to the certainty
 * Of immortality

Taught me by Time,the lower way,
 * Conviction every day,

That life like this is endless,
 * Be judgment what it may.
