THE HEART-CRY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: She turned the page of wounds and death
Last Line: Rests to face life as fearlessly.
Subject(s): Grief; Women & War; World War I - Casualties; Sorrow; Sadness


SHE turned the page of wounds and death
With trembling fingers. In a breath
The gladness of her life became
Naught but a memory and a name.

Farewell! Farewell! I might not share
The perils it was yours to dare.
Dauntless you fronted death: for me
Rests to face life as fearlessly.
