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.
I, and one other whom you have not known.
