• So, I shall see her in three days
    And just one night, but nights are short,
    Then two long hours, and that is morn.
    See how I come, unchanged, unworn!
    Feel, where my life broke off from thine,
    How fresh the splinters keep and fine---
    Only a touch and we combine!

    Too long, this time of year, the days!
    But nights, at least the nights are short....
