Love in Absence. September 16.
Absence quickens love into consciousness.

MS.

The baby sings not on its mother's breast;
Nor nightingales who nestle side by side;
Nor I by thine: but let us only part,
Then lips which should but kiss, and so be still,
As having uttered all, must speak again.

Sonnet. 1851.
