Living
Not as Wont
From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles
Living
"They'll meet no more as wont," she said;
And moons went by of keen regret,
Before once more beneath the shade
We met, where we so oft had met.
Till then in Life's grim strife I'd kept
A heart unquelled, an eye unwet;
But now like any child I wept —
We'd met, but not as wont we'd met.
