“... this single span,
Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
As all lives do, reaching that we may give
The best of what we are and hold as true:
Always it is by bridges that we live.”

Thou sayest farewell, and lo!
I have thee by the hands,
And will not let thee go.”

Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on waking.”
