I wish I could have have merged, then, Into the sea, and wind; I wish I could have vanished, and Just not come back again -- For this was all perfection, unlike All that just had happened: I wish that love had saved me, The way that I'd Imagined

under different clouds
So now you're under different clouds; that scenery, both blue and green, that once we saw together, is entirely through your eyes seen This is the way: the way of those who try and fail at love's enclose; we reachers, stretched beyond all reach who find that love's, at last, a beach

and that, at least
we stood there by the little brook both frozen in our sudden tracks; we held trite truth within our hands with late wind there upon our backs we felt hurt winter calling home the hard relief we longed to feel; we stood beside the silent ice and that, at least, was real

in the frost – 5
a fresh snow-blanket on the ground, a blanket of wool around her knees, the music that she loves the best, a slower night to be at ease -- and yet the sunset seems but gray, the night seems lost in ache, regret: her love has gone, he's gone away to someplace she can't follow yet
