TO A. D.
81
TO A. D.
Across the sea that lies between us twain
I gaze and see thee, exiled but as free
As winds that lash the billows of the main
Across the sea.
I remain here in somber slavery
Amid these winter gusts of bitter pain,
And sorrow for thy lips in vain, in vain,
Bound by the world’s inexorable chain,
And parted from thee. Spirit of Liberty,
Bear thou my kisses’ sunshine, my tears’ rain
To him I love, who may one day love me,
And bid him gladden at my amorous strain
Across the sea.
