From “The Passers-by”
I
In opposite directions ply
Our irresistible two ways
Into the nights, into the days.
The east and west shall draw apart,
Like magnets, your heart from my heart.
……….
How vain our tears now we have seen
That east and west have common lures.
You were my magnet—I was yours,
With all the world between.
