Poems, Series 3: XI. The distance that the dead have gone

XI. The distance that the dead have gone

THE distance that the dead have gone
        Does not at first appear;
Their coming back seems possible
        For many an ardent year.

And then, that we have followed them
        We more than half suspect,
So intimate have we become
        With their dear retrospect.
