Philip Larkin featured the poem “Within the dream, you said” in his 1945 collection of poetry The North Ship as the tenth poem.
Within the dream you said:
Let us kiss then,
In this room, in this bed,
But when all's done
We must not meet again.
Hearing this last word,
There was no lambing-night,
No gale-driven bird
Nor frost-encircled root
As cold as my heart
