ILLUSION by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AS YONDER CIRCLING HEAVENS DEFINE
Last Line: THE CENTRE OF THE SPHERE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

As yonder circling heavens define
The limits of the sea,
And death on time's horizon-line
Shuts out eternity;
So, while in banishment apart
Our widowed lives appear,
Still holds each love-encompassed heart
The centre of the sphere.
