LXIII
I cannot love thee far away
Cannot touch thee - sweet today !
Cannot call thee , hold thee mine -
Why not such of I and thine ?
I cannot bear this distant dree
Far away from thou is me ,
For such a view within is nane
Wherein thus I seethe in vain .
And evermore seems yesterday
I cannot love thee far away ,
Cannot woo thee , kiss thee sweet
Wherein thus to mingle - meet !
