Parted

Sleeples I listen to the surge and drone And drifting roar of the town's undertone Till through quiet falling rain I hear the bells Tolling and chiming their brief tune that tells Day's midnight end. And from the day that's over No flashes of delight I can recover... And I in my loneliness, longing for you... I am alive Only that I may find you at the end *Siegfried Sassoon*
