Distance

Theodosia Garrison 1874 – 1944

A hundred miles between us
Could never part us more
Than that one step you took from me
What time my need was sore.
  
A hundred years between us
Might hold us less apart
Than that one dragging moment
Wherein I knew your heart.
  
Now what farewell is needed
To all I held most dear,
So far and far you are from me
I doubt if you could hear.
