Now I knew I lost her --

Now I knew I lost her --

Not that she was gone --

But Remoteness travelled

On her Face and Tongue.

Alien, though adjoining

As a Foreign Race --

Traversed she though pausing

Latitudeless Place.

Elements Unaltered --

Universe the same

But Love's transmigration --

Somehow this had come --

Henceforth to remember

Nature took the Day

I had paid so much for --

His is Penury

Not who toils for Freedom

Or for Family

But the Restitution

Of Idolatry.
