Separation by Walter Savage Landor

 THERE is a mountain and a wood between us, 
Where the lone shepherd and late bird have seen us 
 Morning and noon and eventide repass. 
Between us now the mountain and the wood 
Seem standing darker than last year they stood, 
 And say we must not cross--alas! alas!
