And I was fearful for dear nature, too; I could not bear To think that heaven anywhere should wear A hue more deeply, more divinely blue Than this home sky that we together knew; Or that there grew Strange bud or bloom to make the earth more fair. AND I WAS FEARFUL FOR DEAR NATURE TOO I COULD NOT BEAR TO THINK THAT HEAVEN ANYWHERE SHOULD WEAR A HUE MORE DEEPLY MORE DIVINELY BLUE THAN THIS HOME SKY THAT WE TOGETHER KNEW OR THAT THERE GREW STRANGE BUDS OR BLOOM TO MAKE THE EARTH MORE FAIR
 Bright May-time bravery, they only grieved A heart bereaved. And though glad robins sang to you to stay, And by the stream the first sweet-flags unfurled Seemed nature’s truce to sorrow,—every way Held warring memories wherewith to gainsay And send you wandering over half the world. Ah, well do I remember how my prayers Went with you, dear, and followed unawares; So speeding ever, winging far and wide About the path wherein your ship should ride, And pleading Heaven that most gentle airs And tempered tide Might bear you safely to the farther side. Then, when I knew your voyage over,—then, —For surely now, at last, I may confess, Now that I have outgrown its bitterness, Though, sometimes, I can almost feel again, Remembering those days, that keen distress, Yes, jealousy it was! not any less, That constantly Wrapped all my thoughts of you beyond the sea!— I feared lest other lives, more large and wide Than mine has been, might, day by day, divide And win your life and love away from me. N THESE DANCING BOWS PUT ON THEIR GAY BRIGHT MAY TIME BRAVERY THEY ONLY GRIEVED A HEART BEREAVED AND THOUGH GLAD ROBINS SANG TO YOU TO STAY AND BY THE STREAM THE FIRST SWEET FLAGS UNFURLED SEEMED NATURE'S TRUCE TO SORROW EVERY WAY HELD WARRY MEMORIES WHEREWITH TO GAINSAY AND SEND YOU WANDERING OVER HALF THE WORLD AH WELL DO I REMEMBER HOW MY PRAYERS WENT WITH YOU DEAR AND FOLLOWED UNAWARES SO SPEEDING OVER WINGING FAR AND WIDE ABOUT THE PATH WHEREIN YOUR SHIP SHOULD RIDE AND PLEADING HEAVEN THAT MOST GENTLE AIRS AND TEMPERED TIDE MIGHT BEAR YOU SAFELY TO THE FARTHER SIDE THEN WHEN I KNEW YOUR VOYAGE OVER THEN FOR SURELY NOW AT LAST I MAY CONFESS NOW THAT I HAVE OUTGROWN ITS BITTERNESS THOUGH SOMETIMES I CAN ALMOST FEEL AGAIN REMEMBERING THOSE DAYS THAT KEEN DISTRESS YES JEALOUSY IT WAS NOT ANY LESS THAT CONSTANTLY WRAPPED ALL MY THOUGHTS OF YOU BEYOND THE SEA I FEARED LEST OTHER LIVES MORE LARGE AND WIDE THAN MINE HAS BEEN MIGHT DAY BY DAY DIVIDE AND WIN YOUR LIFE AND LOVE AWAY FROM ME
