THERE is a mountain and a wood between us, <br />Where the lone shepherd and late bird have seen us <br /> Morning and noon and eventide repass. <br />Between us now the mountain and the wood <br />Seem standing darker than last year they stood, <br /> And say we must not cross--alas! alas!<br /><br />Walter Savage Landor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/separation-2/
