They put Us far apart - As separate as Sea And Her unsown Peninsula - We signified "These see" - They took away our Eyes - They thwarted Us with Guns - "I see Thee" each responded straight Through Telegraphic Signs -
With Dungeons - They devised - But through their thickest skill - And their opaquest Adamant - Our Souls saw - just as well -
They summoned Us to die - With sweet alacrity We stood upon our stapled feet - Condemned - but just - to see -
Permission to recant - Permission to forget - We turned our backs upon the Sun For perjury of that -
Not Either - noticed Death - Of Paradise - aware - Each other's Face - was all the Disc Each other's setting - saw.
