Much Change in a Little Time
Letitia Elizabeth Landon 1802 (Chelsea) – 1838 (Cape Coast)
And she too — that beloved child, was gone —
Life's last and loveliest link. There was her place
Vacant beside the hearth — he almost dreamed
He saw her still ; so present was her thought.
Then some slight thing reminded him how far
The distance was that parted her and him.
Fear dwells around the absent — and our love
For such grows all too anxious, too much filled
With vain regrets, and fond inquietudes :
We know not Love till those we love depart.
