Though Bodies Are Apart-Cecil Day Lewis(1904- 72 )
Though bodies are apart,
The dark hours so confine
And fuse our hearts, sure death
Will find no way between.
Narrow this hour, that bed;
But room for us to explore
Pain’s long drawn equator,
The farthest ice of fear.
Storm passes east, recurs:
The beakéd lightnings stoop:
The sky falls down: the clouds
Are wrung to the last drop.
Another day is born now.
Woman your work is done.
This is the end of labour,
Come out into the sun!
