" "
They parted — ne'er to meet again!
But never either found another
To free the hollow heart from paining — They stood aloof, the scars remaining,
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder;
A dreary sea now flows between; — But neither heat, nor frost, nor thunder,
Shall wholly do away, I ween,
The marks of that which once hath been.
