“Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues With a new colour as it gasps away,…”

“Such partings break the heart they fondly hope to heal.”

“But Faith, fanatic Faith, once wedded fast To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last.”

“No greater grief than to remember days Of joy when misery is at hand.”

“The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds and naked woods and meadows…”

“This was the most unkindest cut of all.”
