Since we parted yester eve, I do love thee, love, believe, Twelve times dearer, twelve hours longer, One dream deeper, one night stronger, One sun surer -- thus much more Than I loved thee, love, before.

I shall remember miraculous things you said
My whole life through -
Things to go unforgotten till I am dead;
But the hundredfold, adorable ways of you,
The tilt of your chin for laughter, the turn of your head
That I loved, that I knew -
Oh! While I fed on the dreams of them, these
have fled!
