He loved his old

And ill could I the thought of such sad parting brook.

Nevertheless, a message from the dawn,
That made me hear the wakening birds around,
And hear his long scythe
whispering
to the ground,
And feel a spirit kindred to my own;
So that henceforth I worked no more alone;
But glad with him, I worked as with his aid,
And weary, sought at noon with him the shade;
And dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speech
With one whose thought I had not hoped to reach.
