            ABSENCE AND UNION
            
            Absence is union dear,
            
            When hearts are one;
            
            Union is absence drear.
            
            When love is done.
            
            PERFECT LOVE
            
            Then only is a perfect love,
            
              When hearts harmonious wed;
            
            Love void of harmony must prove
            
              A union of the dead.

            Love's fruit in all the world is only this,
            
            That two as one should think;
            
            And they that disagree yet woo love's bliss,
            
            Dead corpse with corpse would link.
