To Angel, My Sweetheart - "In Parting"

The kiss my dear: thy lips has left Shall never part from mine, Till happier hours restore the gift Untainted back to thine. Thy parting glance, which fondly beams, An equal love may see: The tear from thine eyelid streams Can weep no change in me. I ask no pledge to make me heist In gazing when alone; Nor one memorial for a breast Where thoughts are all thine own: Nor need to write - to tell the tale My pen were doubly weak: Oh! What can idle words avail Unless the heart could speak? By day or night; in weal or woe That heart no longer free, Must bear the love it cannot show And silent ache for thee.
