Long Distance Line

By Agnes Lee


MORE wonderful than all my joy of heart!—
To know the sudden nearness of his mood,
That for a little moment we, apart,
Together stood.

That same low voice across my garden-aisles	5
Might not have reached my ear, for wind or bird.
But it has spoken across a thousand miles!
And I have heard!
