If we should ever meet again <br /> <br /> When many tedious years are past; <br /> <br />When time shall have unbound the chain, <br /> <br /> And this sad heart is free at last;— <br /> <br />Then shall we meet and look unmov'd, <br /> <br />As though we ne'er had met—had lov'd! <br /> <br />And I shall mark without a tear <br /> <br /> How cold and calm thy alter'd brow; <br /> <br />I shall forget thou once wert dear, <br /> <br /> Rememb'ring but thy broken vow! <br /> <br />Rememb'ring that in trusting youth <br /> <br />I lov'd thee with the purest truth; <br /> <br />That now the fleeting dream is o'er, <br /> <br />And thou canst raise the spell no more!<br /><br />Louisa Stuart Costello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lines-if-we-should-ever-meet-again/
