Thomas Humphry Ward, ed. The English Poets. 1880–1918.rnVol. V. Browning to Rupert Brooke

Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861–1907)

‘Whether I live, or whether I die’

WHETHER I live, or whether I die,

Whatever the worlds I see,

I shall come to you by and by,

And you will come to me.

Whoever was foolish, we were wise,

We crossed the boundary line.

I saw my soul look out of your eyes,

You saw your soul in mine.
