Many things thou hast given me, dear heart;
  But one thing thou hast taken: that high dream
  Of heaven as of a country that should seem
  Beyond all glory that divinest art
  Has pictured:—with this I have had to part
  Since knowing thee;—how long, love, will the gleam
  Of each day’s sunlight on my pathway stream,
  Richer than what seemed richest...
