THE RING
Thro' all the Spheres—an ever opening height,
An ever lessening earth—and she perhaps,
My Miriam, breaks her latest earthly link
With me to-day.
An ever lessening earth—and she perhaps,
My Miriam, breaks her latest earthly link
With me to-day.
Miriam.
You speak so low, what is it?
Your 'Miriam breaks'—is making a new link
Breaking an old one?
You speak so low, what is it?
Your 'Miriam breaks'—is making a new link
Breaking an old one?
Father.
No, for we, my child,
Have been till now each other's all-in-all.
No, for we, my child,
Have been till now each other's all-in-all.
Miriam.
And you the lifelong guardian of the child.
And you the lifelong guardian of the child.
Father.
I, and one other whom you have not known.
