English poem
Together once, but never more
by Christina Georgina Rossetti
Together once, but never more While Time and Death run out their runs: Tho’ sundered now as shore from shore, Together once.
Nor rising suns, nor setting suns, Nor life renewed which springtide bore, Make one again Death’s sundered ones.
Eternity holds rest in store, Holds hope of long reunions: But holds it what they hungered for Together once?
