THE RING
Thro' all the Spheres—an ever opening height,An ever lessening earth—and she perhaps,My Miriam, breaks her latest earthly linkWith me to-day.
Miriam.You speak so low, what is it?Your 'Miriam breaks'—is making a new linkBreaking an old one?
Father.No, for we, my child,Have been till now each other's all-in-all.
Miriam. And you the lifelong guardian of the child.
Father. I, and one other whom you have not known.
