Lines from "The Soul's Destroyer"

We went together side by side to school, Together had our holidays in fields Made golden by June's buttercups ; in woods, Where under ferns fresh pulled I buried her, And called her forth like Lazarus from the grave; She'd laughing come, to shake her curls until Methought to hear full half a hundred bells. A grown-up world took playful notice soon. Made me feel shame that grew a greater love; She was more chary of her laughter then, And more subdued her voice, as soft and sweet As Autumn's, blowing through his golden reeds. In her sweet sympathies she was a woman When scarcely she was more than child in years ; And yet one angry moment parted us. And days of longing never joined us more.
