A Broken Appointment  30278

  • first line (public domain):
              You did not come,
    And marching Time drew on, and wore me numb.—
    Yet less for loss of your dear presence there
    Than that I thus found lacking in your make
    That high compassion which can overbear
    Reluctance for pure loving kindness’ sake
    Grieved I, when, as the hope-hour stroked its sum,
              You did not come.
