As if a Phantom Caress’d Me

As if a phantom caress’d me,

I thought I was not alone walking here by the shore;

But the one I thought was with me as now I walk by the shore, the one I loved that caress’d me,

As I lean and look through the glimmering light, that one has utterly disappear’d,

And those appear that are hateful to me and mock me.
