Ernest Christopher Dowson - ExileErnest Christopher Dowson - Exile
Work rating: Low


By the sad waters of separation     Where we have wandered by divers ways,   I have but the shadow and imitation     Of the old memorial days.   In music I have no consolation,     No roses are pale enough for me;   The sound of the waters of separation     Surpasseth roses and melody.   By the sad waters of separation     Dimly I hear from an hidden place   The sigh of mine ancient adoration:     Hardly can I remember your face.   If you be dead, no proclamation     Sprang to me over the waste, gray sea:   Living, the waters of separation     Sever for ever your soul from me.   No man knoweth our desolation;     Memory pales of the old delight;   While the sad waters of separation     Bear us on to the ultimate night.
