    The poem expresses the speaker's longing for a love that is separated from him by earth and lacks sympathy. Over four stanzas, the speaker reflects on memories of his love from boyhood and how, though winds quaver and hearts waver, he has not and will never forget his love, even if his love may have forgotten him. The last stanza repeats the first, emphasizing that despite their separation, the speaker will never forget the treasure of his heart.

    SEPARATED FROM THEE...

    Fernando Pessoa

    Separated from thee, treasure of my heart, By earth despised, from sympathy free, Yet winds may quaver and hearts may waver, I'll never forget thee. Soft seem the chimes of boyhood sweet To one who is no more free, But let winds quaver and men's hearts waver, I'll never forget thee. In a dim vision, from school hailing Myself a boyish form, I see, And winds have quavered and men's hearts wavered. But I'll [have] not forgotten thee. Since first thy form divine I saw, While from school I came with glee, Winds have quavered and men's hearts wavered, But I've [not] forgotten thee. Since a simple boyish passion I entertained for thee [,] Though winds have quavered and men's hearts wavered, I've [not] forgotten thee. The stars shine bright, the moon looks love, From over the moonlit sea, Winds have quavered and men's hearts wavered And thou hast forgotten me. Separated from thee, treasure of my heart, By earth despised, from sympathy free, Yet [winds] may quaver and hearts may waver, But I'll never forget thee.
