Then eager to fulfil Their courses, like two new-born rivers, they In opposite directions urged their way Down from the far-seen mount. No blast might kill Or blight that fond memorial. The trees grew And now entwine, their arms’ but ne’er again Embraced those brothers upon earth’s wide plain, Nor aught of mutual joy or sorrow knew Until their spirits mingled in the sea That to itself takes all – Eternity.
