The ache of empty arms was an old tale to you.
The grass is waking in the ground, / Soon it will rise and blow in waves - / How can it have the heart to sway / Over the graves, / New graves?
My heart is a garden tired with autumn.
For I shall learn from flower and leaf, That color every drop they hold, To change the lifeless wine of grief To living gold.
Oh who can tell the range of joy or set the bounds of beauty?
Call him wise whose actions, words, and steps are all a clear because to a clear why.
